Uche Dropped as Palace Register New Trio for Europe.

Crystal Palace have axed Super Eagles midfielder Christantus Uche from their UEFA
Conference League squad to make room for January arrivals Brennan Johnson,
Jorgen Strand Larsen and Evann Guessand.
With Palace advancing to the knockout phase, strict registration rules forced the club
to submit a revised 24-man list due to having only three club-trained players.
According to GIVEMESPORT’s Bobby Manzi, Uche was the casualty as the new
signings were prioritised.
The 22-year-old has struggled for minutes at Selhurst Park. He featured for just 155
minutes in the Premier League across 12 substitute appearances, while playing 174
minutes in four European outings.
Uche’s loan includes an obligation to buy only if he starts ten matches this season, a
target that now looks unlikely.
However, with manager Oliver Glasner set to leave at the end of the campaign, a
new boss could yet hand the Nigerian a fresh opportunity.
