Adelaide United have named their 23-man Asian Champions League squad.

The Reds' ACL campaign begins on February 9 with a play-off match against Shandong Luneng Taishan at Hindmarsh Stadium.

“We have selected what we think to be the best squad for our Champions League campaign,” Coach Guillermo Amor said.

“But it was very difficult to make this decision and has taken some time.

“When you have a squad that is as strong as ours, these types of decisions are not easy.

“We have gone with this team because we believe it will give us the most options and it will help us adapt to any situation that we face during the season.”
