Revealed: Sunderland’s extended Europa League squad as 20 young players make cut under Régis Le Bris

Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris has supplemented his European squad with 20 young players registered on UEFA's List B. Meanwhile, 19-year-old midfielder Chris Rigg is included as part of the 22-player senior List A group. The addition of List B youth prospects aims to help the club navigate a demanding schedule across the Premier League, Europa League, and domestic cup competitions.

The senior List A squad includes established names such as captain Granit Xhaka, Brian Brobbey, Kevin Danso, and Robin Roefs. Notably, Chemsdine Talbi remains excluded from the European squad following summer transfer uncertainty, as he does not meet the specific eligibility requirements for List B registration.
