Fabian Hurzeler says Malick Yalcouye not ruled out after UEFA omission | OneFootball

Fabian Hurzeler says Malick Yalcouye could still figure in Albion’s Conference League campaign despite his omission from the UEFA list for the league phase.

According to TheArgus.co.uk, the head coach acknowledged UEFA’s deadline required a squad submission at this stage, described the situation as complicated and said there remains a chance Yalcouye might be involved in games.

Yalcouye started the away leg of the play-off against Tromso, then came on as a substitute in the 4-0 win at the Amex.

Since that round, Albion have added Promise David, Jaouen Hadjam, Chema Andres and Femi Azeez, increasing competition for places among players not developed by Albion or domestically.

The midfielder, who has Champions League experience with Sturm Graz, impressed at Chelsea on Sunday and was replaced after 74 minutes, which looked tactical as Ibrahim Osman came on.

Hurzeler did not mention any injury for Yalcouye at his press conference ahead of the home game with Leeds, and reiterated that squad circumstances could still evolve despite the current registration.
