PREDICTION:
Gunn will replace Victor and Zinchenko will replace Aina in the Europa League squad.
The reason Gunn will come in is that Aina is classed as home-grown so has to be replaced by a home-grown player to make up the numbers.
Unlucky for Victor if that happens but we can't go into a competition without FB cover.

Thats 2 changes. I thought we are only allowed to replace the injured player.

It will be tough, away from home against a side who gave only lost once to Middlesbrough this season.
17 Sep 2025 11:33:45
Tough against Swansea don't make me laugh 4 nil plus that's what I expect from a squad of players of our calibre si let's see what ange can do.
17 Sep 2025 11:40:19
Swansea 0-2 the mighty reds?.
17 Sep 2025 12:03:41
You'd like to think we'll get a result, given the players at our disposal.
Just saying.
17 Sep 2025 12:27:59
We need a confidence boost should be a good game to get one from tonight.

For the qualifying phase and the play-offs, a club may register a maximum of two new eligible players on List A after the above-mentioned deadlines, provided the quota of locally trained players is respected. This registration must be completed by 24:00 CET the day before the relevant first-leg match and the club’s association must confirm in writing that the new player is currently eligible to play at domestic level. If the registration of a new player causes the number of players on List A to exceed 25, the club must remove a player registered previously to reduce the number of players on the list to 25 again.

Fair enough, Cyclist.
17 Sep 2025 13:49:19
I knew Cyclist would sort it. The sites very own Fabrio.

Basically Ange said in the Swansea match press conference that they were going to wait until the last minute to make any change in case anything else happens (i. e. more injuries) before the first Europa game.
But it does look as though you can make 2 changes, looking at that rule.
LUCKY!

Not looking to get into an argument but but i do believe its only one player we can change. Googled and checked and found this.
UEFA said: "The Executive Committee approved an amendment to the 2025/ 26 UEFA men's club competitions' regulations to admit the temporary replacement of a maximum of one outfield player with long-term injury or illness during the league phase until matchday 6 included.
So i think Aina will be replaced by Zinchenko but that's it. ?.

Winters side note?
I hope i'm wrong btw.

Jesus a stuttering echo ?.

Notice it says "DURING THE LEAGUE PHASE"in the regulation you quoted.
The regulation I quoted is what you can do BEFORE MIDNIGHT the night before your first match in qualifying phase.
Basically, the comp hasn't started yet for Forest et al.
