From the LI chat it looks like they have 7 players who are not injured and not in the squad. 2 of them weren't signed by the registration deadline and the other 5 are all "foreign" which means they fall foul of the completion rules... so they obviously decided they couldn't select all of them and still remain within the rules.
3.7 Each club is permitted a maximum of two 'non-European players' in each match squad.
Have to admit I didn't know about that rule, and it would explain why French and English teams appear to field weakened teams.
tell you what, explain why the restriction on a match day squad prevents you having as many "foreigners" in the overall squad as you like. I'll save you the bother, it doesn't.
Now tell me how many of the players left out are "foreign" as defined for this competition, and how many actually in the squad are "foreign".
Thanks.
