Evaluating cup-tied rules and AFCON impact

I'm exploring the cup-tied rule, which was relaxed in 2018 to allow players to represent two clubs in the UCL within the same season after February. However, I need to consider changes in the league phase and registration specifics. Exclusions from the UCL list could suggest a player isn't part of the plans, which might impact salary or bonuses. I'm also looking into AFCON scheduling, which has been moved to December 2025–January 2026, overlapping with the UCL league phase.Analyzing AFCON impact on player roster

I’m considering the implications if Salah misses multiple UCL matches due to AFCON. That could mean he wouldn't be included in the squad. To verify his status, I should check the official UEFA squad list, the club's website, and press conference updates. I might also need to analyze Premier League registrations and injury updates. Since this isn't coding, I'll keep it concise, with a quick answer, explanations, and implications on what to watch for next.Clarifying homegrown status

I need to note that for List A, there are up to 25 players, with 17 classified as non-homegrown. Salah is one of the non-homegrown players. For Liverpool, I should check the non-homegrown count, which includes Alisson and Van Dijk, while assessing Konate's status—he's trained in France, so he's non-homegrown. Jota's situation seems a bit tricky; he spent time at Wolves from age 20 to 23, but the homegrown requirement isn't met, as he doesn't have the qualifying three years. I'm trying to stay clear of too many specifics to avoid inaccuracies.Clarifying UEFA list changes and tracking updates

I want to add that the UEFA list changes in February allow for the replacement of up to three players. It’s also important to note that being left out in September doesn’t necessarily mean a permanent goodbye. Should I offer to track credible updates? I can browse if permitted, but I might need to check for approval before using the network. Keeping it simple, I should ask for a link to confirm if I can proceed!
