19year-old Nigerian midfielder features in Chelsea, Borussia squads

Posted : 03 August 2023
Two days after finalizing his move from Rennes to Chelsea, Lesley Ugochukwu, the French-born Nigerian midfielder, received his first call-up to the first-team squad for a friendly match against Borussia Dortmund during Chelsea's pre-season tour in the United States. 

Despite being on the bench for the entire game, Ugochukwu got the opportunity to be with the team as head coach Mauricio Pochettino assessed his talents. 

Although Chelsea secured a 1-1 draw with a late goal from Mason Burstow, Ugochukwu was not given minutes on the field. 

There have been talks of a potential loan move back to Ligue 1 with Strasbourg for the talented 19-year-old. 

Meanwhile, Carney Chukwuemeka featured for 72 minutes, and Noni Madueke was not part of the matchday squad. 

Chelsea, undefeated in their last five pre-season games, will kick off their Premier League campaign against Liverpool on August 13.
