Glasner Denies Feud with Uche, Explains Squad Registration Decision

1 / 3

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has moved to clear the air over his disagreement with Nigerian midfielder Christantus Uche. He insists the issue was about squad rules, not any personal dislike. Uche, on loan from Spain’s Getafe, has struggled for Premier League starts this season. He has made 22 appearances, mostly as a substitute, and last featured competitively almost two months ago. Frustration boiled over when he spoke publicly about feeling unwelcome. At a pre-match press conference, Glasner revealed Uche was left out of the UEFA Conference League squad due to registration limits and the return of other forwards. He emphasized there was no personal animosity and vowed to support every player at the club. Uche will return to Getafe when his loan ends, having fallen short of the ten Premier League starts needed to trigger a permanent transfer clause.
