Help Please!!

I'm about to play a match but now I'm asked to give a shirt number to a player. Nothing new here but the player doesn't show up in the squad numbers screen. Therefore I cannot assign any number and cannot play the match as I've already accepted the team selection and there is no turning back. It keeps saying something like "there are still players who need a squad number" which is normal because I can't assign the damn number to the damn player. I'm afraid if I save the game the problem won't solve for itself. But I don't want to reset to the last time I saved as I've done a lot since then. Help!! Solutions? Ideas?

Did u tried the filter? Maybe u have filtered him out.

try with automatic assaign...

Did you loan him?

I did everything you said before posting this topic and I did not loan him, he was already on my squad. I choose to start from the last save, no big deal. But I still don't know how that happened. Thanks anyway.
