Birmingham City have filed their squad list for the first half of the 2024/25 season to the EFL.
Birmingham City has submitted a 21-man squad list to the EFL following the close of the transfer window.
League One clubs are permitted to register 22 players, with a minimum of eight homegrown stars. Any player born on or after January 1, 2003 is considered an under-21 player and does not need to be registered.
League One teams, unlike Championship clubs, are not required to register their goalkeepers, hence Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Ryan Allsop are not included on the list below. Fulham loanee Luke Harris, Brandon Khela, and Japanese winger Ayumu Yokoyama are all under 21 and hence have not been named.
The only conspicuous exclusion is Alfie Chang. The 22-year-old midfielder was left out of the squad as he continues his recovery from a long-term knee ailment.
Chang was seriously injured in August 2023 and has yet to return to competition. He has not trained with Chris Davies’ squad this summer and will not make a first-team appearance until January, when squads can be reshuffled.
Fourteen members of the Blues’ roster are homegrown, including Austrian defender Christoph Klarer, who spent four years with Southampton before turning 21. Krystian Bielik, the Blues’ captain and Poland international, is likewise a native product who spent his formative years at Arsenal.
Blues’ squad list
Keshi Anderson, Krystian Bielik, Lee Buchanan, Alex Cochrane, Ben Davies, Lyndon Dykes, Taylor Gardner-Hickman, Emil Hansson, Tomoki Iwata, Lukas Jutkiewicz, Christoph Klarer, Ethan Laird, Marc Leonard, Alfie May, Paik Seung-ho, Tyler Roberts (out on loan), Alfons Sampsted, Dion Sanderson, Jay Stansfield, Willum Willumsson, Scott Wright.
