Tottenham will play in the UEFA Champions League at the end of this month for the first time in a long time. However, not all players accompany the schedule of Champions League games. Japanese defenders Kota Takai and Matistel were excluded from the list.

Football London reported on the 4th (Korea time) "Tottenham submitted a list of qualifiers to UEFA ahead of their return to the Champions League later this month, and six players, including Matistel, were excluded."

Tottenham have had major problems in the composition of the squad for the European match in the past. In the case of the European competition, the roster consists of 25 players. Eight team-friendly players (league development players) are needed, including four home-grown players (self-developed players). Since non-homeless players are limited, the number of players who can participate will be reduced if the above conditions are not met. Tottenham is struggling with every European match due to different regulations from the English Premier League (EPL).

This problem has become even worse this season. Tottenham manager Thomas Frank had to remove a total of six players from the qualifying list. According to the media, players off the list are Radu Dragushin, Dakai Gota, Yves Bissouma, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Matistel. Tel is a resource recruited by Tottenham, a transfer market, from Bayern Munich this summer. Despite the poor performance during the loan period, there were opinions that they were puzzled to join the team.

Gota is coming back from injury. He is still a young player and is recruited with Tottenham's future in mind. It seems practically difficult to make the Champions League stage this season.

Tottenham could not set up a full list of 25 players as they failed to fill all four of their club's development players. Only Brandon Austin met the conditions. Therefore, three seats were empty, and Tottenham could only register 22 squads, not 25.




Up to three people can be replaced if they advance to the finals. In the UEFA Europa League last season, Jed Spence was also excluded from the group stage and joined the list after Tottenham reached the round of 16.

This season, Tottenham will face Villarreal, Bodhi/Glimt, AS Monaco, FC Copenhagen, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Slavia Prague, Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt in the group stage. It is predicted that it will not be easy to break through the preliminary round. Based on the performances of the freshmen, attention is being paid to whether Tottenham can use miracles.
