Chelsea have announced their 25-man Champions League squad.

Each club must name a maximum of 25 players. Two must be goalkeepers. There are a minimum of eight places reserved exclusively for 'locally trained players'. The maximum number of players on List A will be reduced accordingly if a club has fewer than eight locally trained players in their squad.

Clubs can include as many players as they want on List B if they were born after January 1998 and have been registered at the club for two or more years.

Teams can add an unlimited number of players on 'List B' throughout the campaign though the list has to be submitted by 10pm the day before a game.

Goalkeepers: Kepa, Willy Caballero

Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, Emerson, Marcos Alonso, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen, Kurt Zouma, Fikayo Tomori

Midfielders: Jorginho, N'golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Ross Barkley, Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Forwards: Willian, Pedro, Tammy Abraham, Christian Pulisic, Olivier Giroud, Michy Batshuayi

List B: Jamie Cumming, Reece James, Marc Guehi, Billy Gilmour, George McEachran, Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi.
