Can January signings play in the Champions League?
"Players signed in the January transfer window will not be available to play in the Champions League until after the league phase of the competition. Clubs can only register a maximum of three new players to their squad once the league phase is over by the deadline of Thursday, 5 February. The same rules also apply in the Europa League and Conference League."
"Champions League clubs must register a List A squad which is comprised of 25 first-team players and at least eight 'locally trained players' before the league phase starts. However, Alleyne is eligible for List B, a secondary squad made up of youth players born after 1 January 2004. He meets the criteria as he is 20 years old and has spent three consecutive years at City with a maximum of one loan move inside his association lasting no longer than one year."

Uefa phased out the cup-tied rule for the Champions League ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, allowing players to feature for two different clubs in the competition in the same season."
Players signed during the January transfer window are ineligible for Champions League matches until after the league phase, and clubs may add a maximum of three new players to squads after the phase by the 5 February deadline. The same registration limits apply to the Europa League and Conference League. Some clubs, including Manchester City and Tottenham, will be unable to select recent signings for remaining league phase fixtures. Youth players meeting List B criteria, such as Max Alleyne, can be registered despite being recalled from loan. UEFA removed the cup-tied rule in 2018-19, allowing players to appear for two different clubs in one season.
