Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl has raised the prospect of January signings being blocked from playing in postponed games.
Southampton's match against Newcastle was postponed on 2 January and the Magpies have since added England international Kieran Trippier to their squad and have been linked with numerous other new signings.
A date for the new fixture is yet to be announced and Hasenhuttl feels the Premier League should consider if transfer window additions are eligible to play.
"The last word has not been spoken," Hasenhuttl said. "We were discussing in the last Premier League meeting about what happens with the winter signings for the postponed games and if they are allowed to play or not.
"It is for us the same [as Newcastle], we have new owners and could sign three players but it is not really fair for them to play against teams when the games have been postponed. The last word is not spoken.
"I was disappointed [the original game was off] because we were in good shape."
