Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admits he is in a dilemma over whether to include injured players Owen Hargreaves and Anderson in his squad under new Barclays Premier League rules.
Every team has to name a pool of 25 players, including eight who have been at the club for three years before they turned 21. Those under 21 do not count.
The list has to be in at the end of the summer transfer window and renewed if needed in January.
No timescale has been given on Hargreaves, who had a recent setback after double knee surgery while Anderson is recovering from a cruciate ligament injury and not expected back until the end of September.
Ferguson said: "It does give me a problem, but I have just got to wait as long as I can.
"I have to make a decision at some point of course and it depends on when I think those players can come back.
"Most of it (the squad) is formulated in my mind, but one or two I have to make decisions on."
