Tottenham Submit 22-Man Champions League List With Tel Among Six Omitted

A shortage of club-trained players under UEFA rules restricted the list to 22.

Overview

  • UEFA published Tottenham’s List A for the 2025–26 league phase after the submission deadline, confirming a 22-man squad.
  • Six players were left out of the European roster: Radu Dragusin, Kota Takai, Yves Bissouma, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Mathys Tel.
  • Reporting cites a lack of required club-trained players as the reason Spurs could not fill the usual 25 slots, with Brandon Austin noted as the only club-trained option.
  • Injuries factored into several omissions, including a long-term ACL for Maddison and current layoffs for Kulusevski and Dragusin.
  • UEFA rules allow up to three changes before the knockout stage, and separate reporting links Bissouma with potential interest from Turkey before that league’s window closes.
