These replacements can play at the competition at any time should one of the 18 squad members get injured.

However, the French Football Federation announced in a statement on Friday that Chelsea had recalled their player

“Lesley Ugochukwu leaves the Olympic selection,” the statement read.

“The midfielder is leaving the French Olympic Team this Friday, July 19, and will not be among the reserves for the Paris 2024 Olympic tournament.”
