Chelsea has recalled Lesley Ugochukwu from the French U23 Olympic team just days before the football tournament begins. Although Ugochukwu was named as a reserve for the Paris Games, the French Football Federation has confirmed his withdrawal. The move is likely linked to Chelsea’s plans to loan out the 20-year-old midfielder.
Ugochukwu’s absence from the Olympics opens the possibility of him joining a Premier League club on loan or participating in Chelsea’s upcoming preseason tour in the USA. The club’s decision aims to explore loan opportunities while ensuring Ugochukwu gains valuable experience.
