• Bayern’s list includes long-term absentees Alphonso Davies, Jamal Musiala and Hiroki Ito, signaling plans for their potential mid-season returns.
• Sixteen-year-old Cassiano Kiala makes the A-list, while 17-year-old Lennart Karl can be added on the B-list before matches and remain fully eligible to play.
• Deadline-day loanee Nicolas Jackson is registered for Bayern’s attack; the ligaphase slate features Chelsea, PSG, Arsenal, Sporting, PSV, Club Brugge, Royale Union SG and Paphos FC.
• Bayer Leverkusen’s A-list excludes Jonas Hofmann, and Stuttgart’s Sebastian Hoeneß described similarly tough calls under UEFA homegrown and list-size rules.
