Coach of Crystal Palace Oliver Glasner has dropped Nigeria international midfielder Uche Chrisantus from the list of registered players in the Europa Conference League, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The on loan midfielder who has made two appearances in the tournament was dropped from the list of registered players, to make way for the registration of players signed by the club in the January transfer window.
Palace added the trio of Brennan Johnson, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Evann Guessand in place of Uche and two others to complete their list of 24 registered players for the knock out round of the tournament.
Uche has played four games in the tournament with two goals, but he won’t be involved any longer and it’s very likely that the club won’t take the option of signing him permanently at the end of the season, when his loan deal runs out.
A permanent deal was tied to the 22 year old making certain number of appearances, which can’t be reached anymore with few games left to play in the English Premier League, where he has only played 13 times, mainly as a substitute.
He is expected to return to Getafe in the summer, who will then decide on his next career move which is very likely away from Spain, with the club looking to raise funds to comply with the league’s financial regulations.
