The 19-year-old Lesley Ugochukwu is the Chelsea player Henry is mentioning; she has played on the bench for most of the season.

Pochettino has favored starting new signings Enzo Fernandez, Conor Gallagher, and Moises Caicedo over Ugochukwu, who has started just once in the Premier League this season.

Another French candidate, Johann Lepenant, is in a similar predicament at Lyon, and Henry is worried about him.

According to L’Equipe, he spoke about Johann’s predicament and how concerning it is becoming. We will keep providing him with physical support while he is on international service, but ultimately, it is his responsibility and his entourage’s to resolve the issue with Lyon.

Lesley is experiencing the same issue. Despite the fact that things are different at Chelsea, where he faces competition from the likes of Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.

However, he is not in the lineup, and these players these days even skip practicing on the bench in order to maintain their form. The advantages of preseason physical fitness wear off as the season progresses, although they are still noticeable at the beginning. It is my sincere wish that his medical condition would not derail him.

Ugochukwu has started all three of Chelsea’s Carabao Cup matches this season, despite being used as a substitute on multiple occasions by Pochettino.

What the former Tottenham manager has witnessed from the Rennes academy graduate thus far has delighted him.

Being so young and trying to compete in the Premier League is no easy feat. Ugochukwu only had one Premier League start against Bournemouth, but Pochettino praised his play.

But Arsenal great Henry is eager for Ugochukwu to have more playing time soon.
