They only need to start the game with 5. After that, he can play with 4 if that's all he has available. I'd have him send the players he doesn't want to use off the bench. Have them sit with the varsity players.

Bottom line: if he says they aren't available, I'm not going to question it, but I will suggest he not have ineligible players on the bench.
