We'll know soon enough, I guess. (IMG:
style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) There are conflicting reports, some sources say they can, while others are not quite on the same plane. Apparently the thing boils down to the recent UEFA law change that I mentioned in various threads, which for some stupid reason only allows players from teams who played till the 3rd qualifying rounds play in the proper CL. Those that played in the 4th round (that is Sampdoria against that German club), do not make the cut.
But like I said, we we will know soon enough. The CL kicks off in a little while, and things will be clearer then.
