I may be wrong, but I think it's possible to shift Curtis Jones (who's presently on List B) onto List A, and thereby create an extra spot in List A by fulfilling our "locally trained" quota.
As I understand it, the CL rules are:
I think we can do the following in list A:
- 8 minimum "locally trained" players in the 25 man List A squad
- Out of those 8, minimum 4 should be club-trained i.e. on the club's books for minimum 3 years between age 15-21
- In case of any shortfall in "locally trained" quota, the overall squad size of List A gets reduced by the shortfall
Club-trained:
Kelleher
Trent
Gomez
Jones
Association trained:
Milner
Henderson
Ox
Elliott
That gives us the full quota of 17 foreign players to register which would be:
(GK): Alisson, Adrian
(DF): VVD, Matip, Konate, Robertson, Tsimikas
(MF): Fabinho, Thiago, Keita
(FW): Salah, Mane, Firmino, Jota, Diaz, Origi, Minamino
I think you might be right.
