Jeffrey Schlupp missed the end of last season through injury, but played today against BSC Young Boys for a full 90 minutes as he capped off an intense summer of recovery.
The Ghanaian midfielder revealed to Palace TV after the clash this afternoon that he was kept out due to torn ligaments in his ankle, but that he is returning to fitness well and has been boosted by the focussed efforts of the physio, training and medical teams while away on tour.
“I tore some ligaments in my ankle against Man City towards the end of the season,” he said.
