The club confirms its 27-man squad for the UEFA Europa League

Summary

The club announced a 27-man roster for its upcoming UEFA Europa League campaign. The team begins the competition in two weeks with an away match scheduled in Sofia. The squad features three goalkeepers, nine defenders, six midfielders, and nine attackers. This tournament follows a new league format where each participant plays four home and four away matches against eight different opponents. The top eight teams from the 36-team table advance directly to the round of 16, while those finishing 9th through 24th must participate in a play-off round. Unlike previous seasons, there is no relegation to the UEFA Conference League following elimination, and the tournament schedule runs through the end of January.
