I didn’t think it did apply to players who didn’t need to be in the 25
Max of 17 players in the 25 man squad who aren’t ‘home grown’
Those under 21 don’t need to be named... so not sure what that means
It's nothing to do with the 25 man squad (players born on or after 1st Jan 1999 don't need to be named in the 25 man squad for this season anyway), but more to do with the new rules post Brexit.
As I understand it clubs can now only sign up to 3 overseas players under the age of 21 per season and just 6 foreign players per season (i assume the 6 is for players over 21 and therefore for the first team squad). There may be some confusion as to if us recalling Moder and Karbownik count towards the three players under 21 from January as they had already signed for us pre Brexit and were just out on loan, but that would only be 2 players even if they did. Unless the signings of players like Zeqiri, Van Hecke and Khadra etc have already taken us over our quota for the season, but it seems unfair to include players signed before the quotas were known about in the new rules.
