Bug or am I doing something wrong?

[footyking33]

I try to get into a match managing Cardiff City and the game tells me I need at least 1 player trained at the club but my CM IS trained at the club. I then bring in a youth player from the U21's or U18's and put them on the bench and still same thing. The only thing I can do is clear a bench space and then I can finally move on. Am I doing something wrong? How can I fix this without giving up a substitute spot??

Are you sure the CM is trained at the club? Not all of your youth players will necessarily satisfy that condition, as it usually requires a number of years trained at the club, between 15 and 18, and they may be too young.

On the squad screen, select the home grown status from the drop down menu and you will see their exact status of all the players.

Ok so this issue was "fixed" on it's own after I had to play a Carabao Cup game. Nothing changed at all and my next match which was a league game worked as it should. And I did confirm that I did in fact have my CM trained at the club. I dread to think that I would have potentially needed to restart the whole save if I was out of the Carabao Cup!
