Does anyone know when the PL confirms each club's squad along with shirt numbers? Will it be before the first game?

Just curious as we obviously still have the likes of Adebayor, Lennon etc on the books. I Don't know about you, but I'd expect monumental uproar and chaos from most fans if those 2 are named.

Against MLS all stars Alderweireld wore 4, Alli 20, Trippier 16, Wimmer 27.

I got Kane 18 a few weeks back sent to Dubai, where I live. If he changes numbers, is that just my shit luck?! Still has the tag on it... Hope he sticks to it!

Just your shit luck. I did it with Keane a few years back - he fucked off to Liverpool before coming back with no15. Once printed there are no returns.

There will be no such thing as an official squad list until the window shuts.
There is simply no way the club are going to be flogging thousands of shirts at the home matchday opening the season, to fans while not knowing what numbers the players will be wearing.

We'll have played one game already, and people will just buy what they've seen. It's unlikely that players would change after the first game, but it can and has happened before. Bale changed, Adebayor changed, etc. There won't be an official list before the window closes.

When Bale changed to 11 he wore it first game of the season and did not change.

Many clubs announce their numbers these days, seen several today.
Spurs have also usually announced ours in early august,
in fact when Adebayor changed from 25 to 10 after season kick off he agreed to pay the number change for those who had already bought theirs.

He is the only example I can think of due to VdV leaving late on.
