All Premier Leagues had to name their squads on Wednesday, though only players over the age of 21 have to be included.

That means the likes of and new signing are not on the list but are still eligible to play.

The six other summer additions – Mason Mount, Andre Onana, Altay Bayindir, Jonny Evans, Sofyan Amrabat and Sergio Reguilon are as expected included.
