No club may have more than 25 players on List A during the season. Eight places on List A are reserved for 'locally trained players'.

A 'locally trained player' is either a 'club-trained player' or an 'association-trained player' and no club may have more than four 'association-trained players' listed among the eight.

This is an increase from last season's three-plus-three rule.

A 'club-trained player' is a player who, between the age of 15 and 21, and irrespective of his nationality and age, has been registered with his current club for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or of 36 months.

In the case of Chelsea, an 'association-trained player' is a player who, between the age of 15 and 21 and irrespective of his nationality and age, has been registered with another club affiliated to the FA for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or of 36 months.

These regulations mean Chelsea's A List will contain 22 players for this season's group stage.

A player may be registered on List B if he is born on or after 1 January 1987 and has been eligible to play for Chelsea for any uninterrupted period of two years since his 15th birthday.

This means John Mikel Obi is able to move from the A to the B List this season, opening up a fresh place in the A List.

Spells spent away from Chelsea on loan by Scott Sinclair make him ineligible as a club-trained player or as a B List player.

Following the submission of these lists, a club may register up to three new eligible players for the remaining matches, such registration completed by 1 February.

was worried seeing mikel in squad b until i read the explanation.

No Sinclair at all then? Doesn't sound promising for him.

unfortunate for sinclair, but thems the rules.

He could have been an A list player though. But he clearly doesn't rate that highly.

i didnt realise that. looking at the squad the only player i could see him replace is beletti.

Glad to see Di Santo's there , which means he might be able to play a group match if we're already through! :)

or maybe Di Santo could start anyway.. instead of Anelka..
