Arsenal select 25/26 Champions League squad

We have submitted our List A squad for our upcoming UEFA Champions League group stage matches.

As per UEFA regulations, List A is made up of a maximum of 25 players, two of whom must be goalkeepers, As a minimum, eight of those 25 places are reserved exclusively for 'locally trained players' and no club may have more than four 'association-trained players' listed among those eight places.

A locally-trained player is classified as:

  • Club-trained players who were on a club's books for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21
  • Association-trained players who were on another club's books in the same association for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21

If a club has fewer than eight locally trained players in their squad, then the maximum number of players on List A is reduced accordingly.
