Borussia Dortmund has updated its squad list for the UEFA Champions League knockout phase, making two additional players eligible. Salih Özcan and Samuele Inacio are now registered with UEFA for the upcoming matches against Atalanta.
Before the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League, Borussia Dortmund made changes to its squad list, registering midfielders Salih Özcan and Samuele Inacio with UEFA. This move ensures the two Black & Yellow players are eligible to participate in the round of 16 ties against Atalanta, as well as any subsequent rounds.
The first leg of the matchup is scheduled for February 17, with the second leg set for February 25. These registrations come ahead of Dortmund's push in the European competition, bolstering their options for the crucial knockout stages. Özcan and Inacio, who were not initially included in the squad list, now join the roster, providing depth to the team as they face the Italian side.
This adjustment reflects Dortmund's strategic preparations for the tournament's decisive phase, where every player could play a role in advancing further.
