Four Super Eagles-eligible players join Arsenal’s UEFA Champions League squad

Arsenal, the English Premier League team, has submitted their updated Champions League squad to UEFA after the January transfer window closure. 

They’ve included four players eligible for the Super Eagles in the knockout rounds. Ovie Ejeheri, an invitee for the 2023 Flying Eagles, is on the roster alongside Ethan Nwaneri, Nathan Butler-Oyedeji, and Henry Timi Davies.

For the 2023-2024 season, List B allows players born on or after January 1, 2002, eligible to play for the club for two uninterrupted years since turning 15. 

Butler-Oyedeji rejoined the Champions League squad after being recalled from a loan spell at Cheltenham Town.

In the upcoming round of 16 against FC Porto, only Nwaneri has received a call-up, making history as a non-playing substitute in matches against Lens and PSV Eindhoven during the group stage. 

The first leg is scheduled for February 21 at Estadio do Dragao, while the second leg will be at the Emirates Stadium on March 12.
