Teams can pick 25 players for the competition but must have a certain number of ‘locally trained players’ due to UEFA rules.As Spurs didn’t meet the criteria, their maximum squad size was reduced and Janssen, Juan Foyth and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou missed out.Foyth has now been named in the ranks following Mousa Dembeles departure but there remains no room for Janssen while Nkoudou is now out on loan.
