Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has added 41 players to his squad list for tonight's Champions League opener against Atalanta.

The Gunners have already submitted their A List players for the match. This list consists of up to 25 first-team regulars like; Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and David Raya.

However, Arteta is also able to submit a B List closer to kick off. This list is unlimited but has certain qualifying criteria which the club must adhere to.

A player on the B List must have been born on or after January 1, 2003 and has since his 15th birthday, been eligible to play for the club for an uninterrupted period of two years or a total of three consecutive years with a maximum of one loan period to a club from the same association for a period not longer than one year. Players aged 16 may be registered on the B List if they have been registered with the participating club for the previous two years without interruption.

Among those named on the B List are Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly who have become integrated members of the first-team squad. Ayden Heaven is also listed to despite him not appearing in the open training session earlier this week.

Take a look at the full B List squad Arteta has named for the trip to Atalanta tonight below:
