No Chiesa in the CL squad.

Yeah just see that surprised me that one but young Rio in . I thought under 21 did not need registration?

Each team can name a maximum of 25 players in their main 'List A' squad, which includes a minimum of eight places reserved exclusively for what UEFA deems as locally-trained or homegrown players - players trained by their club or another club in the same national association for at least three years between the ages of 15 and 21.

Ngumoha Doesn’t qualify for homegrown yet so he takes up a non homegrown place - so basically a choice between Ngumoha and Chiesa.

Grino - For Europe only, an U21 player needs to have been at the club for 2 seasons to be registered as an U21. Otherwise they have to be registered as a senior.

The right decision, there is not one player in that squad I would drop for Chiesa.

How does Rio play in away CL fixtures?

Think I disagree TB2.
Rio is a child, his participation in the CL will be restricted.
Chiesa is a seasoned pro with CL experience.
Rio has enough on his plate getting PL experience.
Still, I don’t have a strong opinion either way but I think I’d have selected Chiesa.

It’s a head scratcher for sure. I thought he’d done enough to be included.

It’s a good squad though. We should go close. I’m hoping we meet up with PSG again - should be a couple of cracking games to watch in the knock-out phase ?.
