Overview

• Liverpool confirmed a 22-man List A for the Champions League league phase, which begins at Anfield against Atletico Madrid on September 17.
• UEFA rules cap non-homegrown players at 17 and require eight homegrown slots, limiting Liverpool’s main list size and leading to Chiesa’s omission.
• Ngumoha is on List A because he is not yet eligible for List B, while club-trained youngsters such as Trey Nyoni and Jayden Danns can be named on List B.
• The squad includes summer arrivals Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez, Giovanni Leoni and Giorgi Mamardashvili.
• Chiesa has had limited minutes after a fitness-troubled first season and recently told Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso he was not ready to return to the national team.
