UEFA's regulations on loan players in the Champions League are the subject of a new report by BBC Sport journalist Jonty Colman. The article examines the rules that determine whether a loan player can feature for their temporary club in Europe's premier club competition.
One high-profile example is Arsenal teenager Ethan Nwaneri, who is currently on loan at Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund. His eligibility for Champions League matches will depend on the specific criteria set by UEFA.
The report was published on November 4, 2026.
