"Frank last week had to confirm a 25-man squad for the League phase of the competition and due to a lack of homegrown squad members, he was forced into some tough decisions. James Maddison, who is recovering from an ACL rupture, was an obvious choice not to make the cut, while injured duo Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin did not make the final squad, despite the fact that both are expected back before the end of the league phase."
"New signing Kota Takai, plus out-of-favour midfielder Yves Bissouma also missed out, but perhaps the most surprising omission was forward Mathys Tel, who completed a 30m permanent move to the club this summer, following his January loan from Bayern Munich. Tel looks to have missed out on the squad following the deadline day loan signing of Randal Kolo Muani from PSG and has been discussing the situation while on international duty with France under-21s."
Thomas Frank confirmed a 25-man Champions League squad after Tottenham returned to Europe's premier competition following the Europa League final win over Manchester United. The squad selection required difficult choices because of a shortage of homegrown players. James Maddison, recovering from an ACL rupture, did not make the list. Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin were omitted despite expected returns before the end of the league phase. New signing Kota Takai and Yves Bissouma also missed out. Mathys Tel, signed permanently for 30m this summer, was a notable exclusion after Tottenham loaned Randal Kolo Muani from PSG. Tel has been discussing the omission while on France under-21 duty.
