With every new Champions League season, one of the trickiest tasks for coaches and sporting directors is to put together the famous list submitted to UEFA.

This list must follow very strict rules: a maximum of 25 players, with at least eight locally trained (four at the club, four in the country).

These constraints, combined with financial and sporting requirements, sometimes force clubs to leave out well-known and experienced players.

Here are the main absentees, highlighting the sometimes painful choices made by the participating clubs:

  • Liverpool: Federico Chiesa
  • Tottenham: Mathys Tel, Yves Bissouma, Radu Dragusin, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison
  • Bayer Leverkusen: Martin Terrier, Jeanuel Belocian
  • PSV: Alassane Pléa
  • PSG: Presnel Kimpembe
  • Chelsea: Axel Disasi, Raheem Sterling, Mudryk
  • Arsenal: Gabriel Jesus
  • Juventus: Arkadiusz Milik
  • Napoli: Romelu Lukaku
  • OM: Amine Harit, Neal Maupay, Pol Lirola, Rubén Blanco, Ulisses Garcia
  • Olympiakos: Rémy Cabella
