Grigoris Koutsimpogiorgos was ruled out for the remainder of the tournament due to concussion. Adam Vrahnos was added to the squad as his replacement.[7]
Samoa edit
Head coach: Matt Parish
Samoa announced their 24-man squad on 27 September 2022.[8] Luciano Leilua was initially included in the squad but was withdrawn after he was charged with two criminal offences.[9] Ligi Sao was announced as his replacement on 8 October.[10] Braden Hamlin-Uele, Tyrone May and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow were ruled out for the remainder of the tournament due to injury.
