Question about loan signings

Hi, new here, been reading articles on here for a few months but just decided to make an account.

Anyway, was just wondering about the rules on loan signings. I thought only 5 loan players were allowed in a match-day squad, but I'm pretty sure Leicester had 6 in there's today?

Bruma and Miguel Vitor (who I believe is on loan from Benfica) , unless only domestic loans are included in this rule?

Yes sorry forgot about Bruma who has only just signed on loan, but Vitor signed a 1year loan in 2009, and then signed for Leicester in Sept 2010, so now he is a leicester player

and ricardo whitch they have on loan from Betis
so they had Mee,Naughton,Van Aanholt,Yakubu,bruma and Ricardo

Ah fair enough, didn't realise they'd made the signing permanent
