Champions League

European clubs have begun submitting their Champions League squad list to their various associations ahead of the competition which begins on October 20 across Europe after the transfer window was shut on Monday night.

UEFA earlier announced that five substitutions will be permitted this season, increasing the number of players selected for a matchday squad to 23.

Clubs participating in the tournament had the chance to witness teams they have been drawn with in the various groups on Thursday, October 1.

According to UEFA, every club must submit two lists of players (A and B) to their national association. The lists (which include things like shirt numbers) are then verified, validated and forwarded to UEFA. They are expected to be announced on UEFA.com on Monday.

Who can be on List A?
A maximum of 25 players, two of whom must be goalkeepers. There are a minimum of eight places reserved exclusively for 'locally trained players'. If a club have fewer than eight locally trained players in their squad, then the maximum number of players on List A is reduced accordingly.

What's a 'locally trained player'?
There are two categories:
1. Club-trained players – players who were on a club's books for three years between the ages of 15 and 21;
2. Association-trained players – players who were on another club's books in the same association for three years between the ages of 15 and 21. No club can have more than four association-trained players among their eight nominees on List A.

What is List B, then?
A player may be registered on List B if he is born on, or after, 1 January 1995 and has been eligible to play for the club concerned for any uninterrupted period of two years since his 15th birthday (players aged 16 may be registered if they have been registered with the club for the previous two years). Clubs are entitled to register an unlimited number of players on List B during the season, but the list must be submitted by no later than 24:00CET the day before a match.
