Chelsea add four more players to UEFA Conference League squad after 'admin error'

Chelsea add four more players to UEFA Conference League squad after 'admin error'

Chelsea have added four more players to their UEFA Conference League squad after an 'admin error' meant one star missed out.

Chelsea have had an extremely busy summer, with no fewer than 10 players joining Enzo Maresca's squad and 10 departing.

Both numbers look set to increase before transfer deadline day next week, with Chelsea set to offload Romelu Lukaku and hoping to sell Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell.

With a first team squad of 33 players and others waiting to depart, Chelsea omitted big names from their UEFA A-list squad submitted ahead of their Conference League play-off first leg against Servette on Thursday.

Sterling, Chilwell, Wesley Fofana and Tosin Adarabioyo were all left off the list, although the latter was later added as it turned out he was omitted due to an administrative error.

As reported by Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol, the absence of Adarabioyo - who joined the club this summer as a free agent - was a mistake, and he will be able to play on Thursday.

Following that embarrassing mix-up, it appears that Levi Colwill, Tyrique George, Kiano Dyer and Joshua Acheampong have been added to the Chelsea B-list.

UEFA rules stipulate that club's cannot have more than 25 players on A-list during the season.

A minimum of eight places are reserved exclusively for 'locally trained' players, and no club may have more than four 'association-trained players' listed in these eight places on List A.

Each club is entitled to register an unlimited number of players on their B-list.

A player may be registered on List B if he is born on or after 1 January 2003 and has, since his 15th birthday, been eligible to play for the club for any uninterrupted period of two years, or a total of three consecutive years with a maximum of one loan period to a club from the same association for a period not longer than one year.
