Should I smile or cry!
Matistel (20), who will be shocked out of the final entry in the European Champions League (UCL) in the 2025-2026 season, has a chance to be rescued. The UEFA Executive Committee agreed on the 12th (Korea time) to change the entry due to the occurrence of injured players. Britain's 'The Sun' said this major rule change has been announced which gives hope to stars excluded from the UCL squad.
The first submitted entry cannot be changed until the league phase. Coach Thomas Frank confirmed 22 entries for the UCL on the 4th and submitted them to UEFA. The biggest controversy was the exclusion of Tel. On the other hand, new recruits Mohamed Kudus, João Palinha, Xavi Simmons and Randal Kolo Muani were all included.
The final entry for the UCL is 25 people. However, the club must fill the quota of self-developed players (Chapter 4). Tottenham's goalkeeper Brandon Austin was the only one from Youth, so only 22 players could register. Injured James Madison, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragushin and Yves Bissouma were also excluded.
The revised regulations, effective immediately, allow each club to temporarily replace one field player with a 'long-term injury or illness' until round six in December. UEFA explained that "the reason for this adjustment is to prevent the undue reduction of the roster and to ensure that the players are protected from the additional burden of playing."

'Dursun' is that Liam Delap (Chelsea) has not played for 10 weeks due to a hamstring injury, allowing Pacundo Buonanote to play immediately. Tel, Federico Chiesa (Liverpool) and Gabriel Jesus (Arnall) are also likely to return, he stressed.
Tel, who was sent to France's Under-21s (under-21s), was in pain last week when he was excluded from the UCL entry, saying he was "sad for sure." He also said he would clarify his position to coach Frank. However, Tel can only join Tottenham's offensive line when there is a 'injury bad news'.
Tottenham chose to completely recruit Tel as the first sign of the transfer market this summer. He moved his nest from Bayern Munich to Tottenham on the last day of the winter transfer market in February this year. Tottenham agreed to a transfer fee of 50 million euros (about 81 billion won) with Bayern on the condition of fully recruiting Houtel on loan. The contract is for six years.
Former coach Enze Postecoglou, who left Tottenham, also confirmed that `Tell will be a Tottenham player.' However, it was below expectations. He made 20 appearances for Tottenham and scored only three goals.

Tottenham were in conflict, but they kept their promise of full recruitment. However, it is known that the transfer fee has been lowered. Tottenham paid 10 million euros (about 16.2 billion won) to Bayern on Tel's rent. The conditions for the full recruitment are said to have been agreed with Bayern to pay an option of 10 million euros for the basic 35 million euros (about 56.8 billion won).
Tel, who is drawing attention as 'post Son Heung-min', is from France. He made his first-team debut at the age of 16, the youngest member of the club, at Stadren, and was highly anticipated. Joining Bayern in July 2022, he broke the club's record for the youngest score in a month.
But there were not many chances after Harry Kane nestled at Bayern in the summer of 2023. Tel played in a total of 83 games during his three seasons with Bayern, scoring 16 goals and eight assists. In 60 matches in the Bundesliga, he scored 12 goals and 6 assists, and in 16 matches in the UCL League, he scored 2 goals and 1 assist. For DFB Pokal, he scored two goals and one assist in six games.
The way out was Tottenham. However, he was not listed on the UCL, which is 'Dream Stage', even though he was not labeled as a rental. Tel played only two replacements in the English Premier League (EPL) in the new season. The playing time is 19 minutes.
