Speaking in his pre-match press conference yesterday, Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson praised Jeffrey Schlupp, calling the Ghana international "underrated" and praising his individual attributes.
Schlupp has featured in five league games for Hodgson this season but suffered from an ankle injury towards the end of the last campaign, missing four of the final matches.
Here's what Hodgson had to say: "He’s a very, very important player. I think he’s one of those underrated players because he’s not spectacular. He can be [spectacular] when he gets on a run with the ball. He’s very strong, he’s a very good runner with the ball, a good striker with the ball.
