• Sixteen-year-old Cassiano Kiala was named on List A, while 17-year-old Lennart Karl was omitted and is expected to be registered on List B under UEFA eligibility rules.
• Long-term injured players Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies and Hiroki Ito are included despite uncertain return timelines, with Tom Bischof also listed following an appendectomy.
• Deadline-day signing Nicolas Jackson joins the squad on loan from Chelsea, a deal reported as a €16.5 million loan with a purchase option of about €65 million.
• Bayern’s schedule includes Chelsea, Arsenal and Paris Saint‑Germain among eight opponents, as BILD highlights a comparatively small senior roster and Uli Hoeneß urges an outsider mindset.
