Overview

• UEFA confirmed Spurs registered 22 players for the league phase rather than the permitted 25 under homegrown quotas.
• Kota Takai, Radu Dragusin, Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Mathys Tel were omitted from List A.
• Maddison, Kulusevski and Dragusin are recovering from serious knee injuries that rule them out for much of the league phase.
• Bissouma was excluded after recent disciplinary issues and he remains linked with potential moves to leagues where windows are still open.
• Tel was left out despite a £30m permanent move as Thomas Frank prioritized other profiles, with summer arrivals Xavi Simons, Randal Kolo Muani, João Palhinha and Mohammed Kudus included, and up to three changes allowed before the knockout round.
