How do European squad lists work?
Our Ask Me Anything team explain the rules that teams have to stick to when selecting their Champions League, Europa League and Conference League squads.
In the Champions League transfer window, clubs must submit two lists of players - List A and List B - by 22:59 BST on Wednesday. List A has a maximum of 25 players, including a minimum of eight locally trained squad members, with no more than four being association-trained. List B has no upper limit and caters to more junior members of the squad.
List A must include at least two goalkeepers, with a minimum of three goalkeepers across both lists. Goalkeepers have special replacement rules if injured or ill, with shorter injury or illness limits compared to outfield players. If a goalkeeper transfers during the league phase, the club can replace them for the remainder of the league phase only.
