Homegrown status wrong?

[jere_d]

Hi

for years on football manager loaning out a player bought at 18 would prevent that player from gaining hg status at a club.

But I’ve just seen that Saliba for arsenal will become Homegrown because they registered him for the league squad every season even though they loaned him out 3 times.

this rule should be added to the game 

where do I bring up this issue so it can be added and everyone can take advantage of this rule instead of being forced to keep young players in your squad?

Does he actually count as Homegrown though? The Athletic seem to be assuming he does, but according to the Premier League Website he is still on the U21 List:

2022/23 Premier League squad lists

Whilst UEFA don't seem to list whether players are homegrown or not on their site any longer.

But if you feel the rule is wrong and have evidence that players out on load should qualify then this is the best place to raise the issue:

Hi the researcher for arsenal believes saliba is hg and in that case players sent on loan should still be able to achieve hg status without physically being at the club.
