actually whoever quoted 23 before was incorrect it's 28
Maybe he will need to score against the Serbs
Isn't it 23 plus a handful of kids from the academy? There's a weird set of criteria for that group beyond the 23.
It's 25 that must include 2 goalkeepers and at least 8 homegrown players. Then there's the List B that doesn't have a limit but there's strict conditions on who can be placed on it.

Bayern have named Singh as one of 28 players there in their Champions League squad.
It includes four goalies.
Singh is one of eleven midfielders named, so his chances of taking the field would seem minimal.
Bayern only had seven players (including one goalie) on the bench in the Champions League for all their matches last season.
Six outfield positions on the bench from the 14 outfield reserves available in the squad...
Yes, but there's every chance that Bayern will be qualified for knockout stages by Matchday 5 or 6, in which case they're likely to play non-first teamers on those Matchdays. There's a pretty decent chance that Singh will make a Champions League debut this season, unless Bayern really mess up their group and desperately need points in the last game.
Also, back on the squad rules, the squads need to conform to the rules that I mentioned above (25 that must include 2 goalkeepers and at least 8 homegrown players), but since there's no limit on List B players, the squad can be as large as you want, as long as you have enough players who meet the List B criteria.
The confusion seems to be caused by the fact that Bayern have named a squad of 28 for the Champions League
(28 players listed on both the UEFA and Bayern websites)
However the Bayern website explains that Kovac has named "24 pros plus 4 young talents":

"FC Bayern submitted their official squad for the group stage to UEFA on Wednesday. Besides the 24 pros, coach Niko Kovač has named four young talents."

"All 24 players from the professional Bayern Munich squad was included as well four from Bayern Munich II: Oliver Batista Meier, Sarpreet Singh, Joshua Zirkzee and Daniels Ontužāns."
Bayern seem to do it their own way, including youth players in their squad of 28, possibly not bothering about "List B" players submitted the day before each match (youth players born on or after Jan. 1 1998 who have been registered at he club for at least two years since age 15)
Midfielder Leon Goretzka, named in the Chmps Lge squad, is now out injured for some time after surgery this week...
It'll certainly be great if Singh makes the matchday squad at any point.
.However, looking at last season, Kovac stuck with seasoned first team pros even on the last group-stage matchday vs. Ajax in December (both starters and on the bench):
