All clubs in the top flight must submit their new squad lists within a week after the window closes.

Only one of Burnley’s three January signings, Lorenz Assignon, has been included in the 25-man squad. That’s because Maxime Esteve and David Fofana are both registered in the Under-21 section.

Only 22 players have been registered, leaving three spots free, with a number of the club’s first-team players included in the Under-21 section.

Under Premier League rules, each squad must contain no more than 17 players who do not fulfil the "Home Grown Player" (HGP) criteria. The rest of the squad, up to a total of 25 players, must be "Home Grown".

Each club must also publish an additional list of each club's registered Under-21 players who are eligible over and above the squad limit of 25 players.

The likes of James Trafford, Aaron Ramsey and Wilson Odobert fall into this category.

A "Home Grown Player" means a player who, irrespective of nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to The Football Association or the Football Association of Wales for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons, or 36 months, before his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).
