The Dutch side have made significant changes to their A-list due to injuries, with Philippe Sandler, Yassin Moslih, and Sami Ouaissa ruled out for several weeks and therefore not available for the Bodø/Glimt play-off. As a result, Kodai Sano, who left for PSV between the Olympiakos Piraeus matches, has also been removed from the list. The absence of these players has created vacancies on the list, allowing Brás and Tahaui to be registered.
Polster, who joins Gonzalo Crettaz and Joep Geneste as goalkeepers, completes the trio of homegrown players on the list, alongside Nuytinck and Kers. NEC still have two spots to fill by Tuesday evening, with Almugera Kabar set to join the squad after being presented on Friday morning. Koki Ogawa, however, will miss the Bodø/Glimt matches due to injury, while Vito van Crooij has not been registered for the Champions League play-offs.
