Premier League teams Champions League and Europa League squads revealed

Arsenal have left Mesut Ozil and youngster William Saliba out of their Europa League squad, which was submitted on Thursday to UEFA.

Man United’s Sergio Romero and Chelsea’s Danny Drinkwater were among players left out by their clubs as well.

Mesut Ozil continues to fall out of favour at the Emirates having been left out of playing for the team since the restart of football following the coronavirus pandemic disruption.

Many still wonder what could have caused the highest earner at Arsenal to be frozen out of the team but Arsenal’s manager Mikel Arteta has said it would be difficult for anyone to get into the current Arsenal side.

Let’s take a look at the squad list for the Premier League teams participating in Europe’s elite club competition this season.

Liverpool Champions League squad

Shaqiri makes the cut as Harry Wilson misses out.

Xherdan Shaqiri has been named in Liverpool’s 24-man Champions League squad, but Harry Wilson missed out.

Liverpool will also be able to supplement the squad with B-list players, meaning Curtis Jones, Neco Williams and Rhys Williams are among those able to play in their Group D matches.

Goalkeepers: Alisson, Adrian, Kelleher

Defenders: Van Dijk, Gomez, Tsimikas, Robertson, Matip, Alexander-Arnold

Midfielders: Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara, Milner, Keita, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Shaqiri, Minamino, Elliott

Man City Champions League squad

Ake, Torres and Dias made Guardiola’s team.

New City signings Nathan Ake, Ferran Torres, and Ruben Dias, as well as goalkeeper Zack Steffen, are in the Champions League squad named by Pep Guardiola.

City’s maximum squad size, however, was reduced to 21 as they do not have any homegrown players that are required to be included in the squad. Scott Carson, John Stones, Kyle Walker, and Raheem Sterling all class as homegrown.

Goalkeepers: Ederson, Steffen, Carson

Defenders: Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake, Zinchenko, Laporte, Mendy, Cancelo

Midfielders: Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Torres, Fernandinho.

Romero, Jones and Rojo out.

Manchester United have left Sergio Romero, Phil Jones, and Marcos Rojo out of their squad for the Champions League group stages.

Edinson Cavani, Alex Telles, and Facundo Pellistri who all joined United on deadline day, and earlier summer arrival, Donny van de Beek, secured their spots in the team list.

Goalkeepers: De Gea, Henderson, Grant

Defenders: Bailly, Fosu-Mensah, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw, Alex Telles, Tuanzebe, Wan-Bissaka

Midfielders: Bruno Fernandes, Fred, James, Lingard, Mata, Matic, McTominay, Pellistri, Pogba, Van de Beek

Forwards: Cavani, Ighalo, Martial, Rashford

Chelsea Champions League squad

Moses and Drinkwater out.

The future of Danny Drinkwater and Victor Moses seems uncertain after being left out of their Champions League squad again.

The duo are two of five members of Frank Lampard’s first-team squad not selected along with Abdul Baba Rahman, fourth-choice goalkeeper Nathan Baxter, and Charly Musonda.

Goalkeepers: Arrizabalaga, Caballero, Mendy

Defenders: Rudiger, Alonso, Thiago Silva, Christensen (HG), Tomori (HG), Zouma, Azpilicueta, Palmieri, Chilwell (HG)

Midfielders: Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Ziyech, Havertz, Pulisic

Forwards: Abraham (HG), Werner, Giroud

Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Billy Gilmour, and Reece James qualify for the B list.

Leicester Europa League squad

Gray, Benkovic, James and Slimani out.

Leicester have left Demarai Gray, Matty James, Filip Benkovic, and Islam Slimani out of their final squad for the group stages.

Wilfred Ndidi makes the squad despite a long-term groin injury.

Goalkeepers: Schmeichel, Ward, Jakupovic

Defenders: Pereira, Justin, Castagne, Fuchs, Morgan, Amartey, Evans, Soyuncu, Fofana

Midfielders: Mendy, Ndidi, Choudhury, Maddison, Tielemans, Praet, Dewsbury-Hall, Albrighton, Barnes, Perez, Cengiz Under

Forwards: Vardy, Iheanacho

Tottenham Europa League squad

Rose and Fernandes out.

Danny Rose and Gedson Fernandes were omitted from Tottenham’s Europa League squad for the group stages this season.

Rose, 30, failed to secure a move away from the club before the closure of the transfer window on Monday.

Fernandes, who joined from Benfica on an 18-month loan deal in January, has also been left out.

Goalkeepers: Lloris, Hart

Defenders: Doherty, Reguilon, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Dier, Aurier, Davies, Carter-Vickers

Arsenal Europa League squad

Ozil, Sokratis and William Saliba were left out by Mikel Arteta.

Mesut Ozil has been left out of Arsenal’s Europa League squad for the 20/21 campaign.

The 31-year-old has not played for the Gunners since March and his future at the club has been in doubt for some time, with boss Mikel Arteta recently saying it has been “very difficult” for Ozil to break back into the side.

He misses out on the squad alongside center-backs Sokratis, who was expected to leave the club in the summer window, and William Saliba, who has yet to make an appearance in the Premier League since joining from Saint Etienne.

Goalkeepers: Leno, Runarsson, Macey, Hillson, Iliev

Defenders: Bellerin, Gabriel, Holding, Cedric, Mustafi, Chambers, Pablo Mari, David Luiz, Kolasinac, Tierney

Midfielders: Dani Ceballos, Willian, Maitland-Niles, Partey, Elneny, Xhaka

Forwards: Lacazette, Aubameyang, Pepe

Nelson, Saka, Willock, and Smith Rowe are all included as homegrown players.
