Overview

• Liverpool confirmed a 22-man List A for the 2025-26 league phase, with Chiesa omitted ahead of the opener against Atletico Madrid on September 17.
• With at least eight homegrown places required, the club effectively had 17 non‑homegrown slots and filled them, limiting the overall list to 22 due to only five homegrown players.
• Teenager Rio Ngumoha made the List A despite his age because he is not yet eligible for List B after joining from Chelsea last year.
• Summer signings Florian Wirtz, Alexander Isak, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Giovanni Leoni and Giorgi Mamardashvili were all included, tightening competition for non‑homegrown places.
• Chiesa has logged 29 Premier League minutes this season after an injury-hit first year, and Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso said the player declined a recall to regain full fitness; Liverpool can adjust List A before the knockout rounds under UEFA rules.
