I thought these would have been loaned out before the draw took place, oh well

3 Wesley FOFANA

I thought he wouldn't have been named in the squad because he's under 21. But apparently under 21s have to be in the main squad if they've been at the club for less than two years.

 

[Miles Away]

Surprising to see Amartey out. A signal his injury from this weekend is a potentially lengthy one?

And Gray is properly one the wilderness now, eh?

 

[Graz]

Seems that way, on both counts.

Surprised we named Wilf in the squad when his expected return date is after the group stage is over.

Is there a limit to how many changes we can make to the squad for knockout rounds?

Yes. Three players can be added - but the squad size stays the same so some would have to be removed.

 

[bocadillo]

See my post in the other thread. It does appear that this present announcement applies right to the final.

 

[Graz]

Makes sense why we've included Ndidi now then I guess.

Surprised Gray is out though. Very much seems cast aside now. But with the rotation I'd hope we'd have in the EL, then that's where I assumed he would get game time.

Article 43 Subsequent registration​

43.01
As of the round of 32, a club may register a maximum of three new eligible players for the remaining matches in the current competition. Such registration must be completed by 2 February 2021 (24.00CET) at the latest. This deadline cannot be extended.
43.02
Any or all of the players from the above quota of three may have been fielded for another club in the qualifying phase, play-offs or group stage of the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League.
43.03
If the registration of such new players causes the number of players on List A to exceed 25, the club must remove the necessary number of currently registered players to reduce the squad to 25 players again. The quota of the "locally trained players" must be respected when registering new players. Newly registered players must wear set numbers.
43.04
If a club cannot count on the services of at least two goalkeepers registered on List A because of long-term injury or illness, the club concerned may temporarily replace the goalkeeper concerned and register a new goalkeeper at any time during the season and complete the official registration list A with a goalkeeper fit to be fielded. An injury or illness is considered long-term if it lasts at least 30 days as of the day the injury or illness occurred. In case the recovery of the goalkeeper occurs before this 30 day period, the player must remain out of the players List A until the end of such period. If the replaced goalkeeper was registered as a locally trained player, the new goalkeeper does not need to be a locally trained player. The club must provide UEFA with the necessary medical evidence in one of UEFA's official languages. UEFA may require further medical examination of the goalkeeper by an expert appointed by UEFA at the cost of the club. Once the injured or ill goalkeeper is fit to be fielded again he can resume his position in place of his nominated substitute. The return of the original goalkeeper must be announced to the UEFA administration 24 hours before the next match in which the original goalkeeper is due to play.

One hand does not appear to know what the other hand is doing.

 

[Miles Away]

I also don't understand what is going on with Benkovic at all.

 

[Blue Maniac]

I also don't understand what is going on with Benkovic at all.

His contract has been altered, he works in the shop now.

 

[Robin127]

I also don't understand what is going on with Benkovic at all.

Maybe we got "Maguired."

 

[pork pie fox]

I also don't understand what is going on with Benkovic at all.

He’s the long term replacement for Matty James. Our scouting set up is that thorough, that they even replace the perennially injured, for when they have to retire. It’s really impressive when you look at it.

 

[Skitzo]

so only 24 players and one of them Ndidi, is likely to miss the entire group stage and another Ricardo will miss half of the games. Would have liked to see Muskwe/Ndukwu be included as the 25th and get some game time but oh well

Probably means they're going out on loan.

 

[Skitzo]

Probably means they're going out on loan.

hope so, same with Sam Hughes, he'd played pro football before we signed him but has had a lot of back injuries, get him out on loan
