Premier League Loan Rules

[Liaminho9]

Does anyone understand it properly?

The Premier League website states:

• Premier League clubs may not register more than two players on loan at any one time.
• The maximum number of loans registrable in the same season is four, and, under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time.
• Premier League clubs cannot loan to another Premier League club a player they have acquired in the same transfer window.
• A Premier League club may loan not more than one of its goalkeepers to another Premier League club.

The confusing part for me is the first point - register more than 2 players on loan at any one time.
Is that match day squads? Or Premier League squads?

Obviously the club fully understands and has a plan but if all goes according to reports, we will have 4 loans:
Henderson (who will always be in the match day squad)
Besic
Retsos
Zivkovic

If it is 2 per match day squad, who will get in the team/bench?

Think loans from abroad don't count. Not sure how many you can have though.

Didn’t Fulham have a 2/3 foreign loans when they got relegated?

It's less confusing when you copy and paste the next sentence on the website

With the exception of Welsh clubs competing in the competitions listed under Rule V.6.2, loans from a club in membership of another National Association do not count towards the above quotas.
