Crystal Palace star Jeff Schlupp ready for Black Stars return after missing 2019 AFCON

Crystal Palace versatile man Jeffrey Schlupp has told GHANAsoccernet.com he is ready to return to the Ghana national team after missing the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in the summer.

The 26-year-old missed the continent’s flagship football tournament in Egypt after he picked an ankle injury at club level.

However, the wideman has turned on the heat in style since recovering from the set-back to play an influential role for the Eagles in their Premier League campaign this season.
