The men's soccer event at the Paris Olympics took place on Wednesday (24th). Hosts France were forced to move positions before the start of the wave and were placed on the waiting list. Ugochogu was suddenly withdrawn by the Roadrunners on Saturday (20). The French soccer president issued a statement confirming that the midfielder will not play in the Paris Olympics and applied to the Olympic Committee to call up another player.
Ugochogu, 20, has been called up by Henry to France's Olympic team. Although he was already on the list of 18 players, he was one of four alternates. Olympic rules state that a standby can always replace an injured player in the starting lineup. However, Lusi's sudden haul of Ugochogu in the opening game of the day caught France off guard, with a gold medal as the goal.
Chelsea had earlier rejected Asudisas' selection for the French Olympics along with Banlote Bhartiya Shoney. This time, Ugochogu has been recycled. Chelsea reportedly wants to help him find a new club soon and wants to loan him out to other Premier League teams for training. The French men's soccer team is in full force this year, taking stars like Cassidy, Michael Ollis, and Sam Madida to compete for the gold medal.
