Schlupp positive about fitness levels after return to starting XI

Jeffrey Schlupp made his first competitive starting XI for Crystal Palace this evening since December 2019, after the No.15 battled with injury to return to Palace's squad before the season closed.

Speaking with Palace TV post-match, Schlupp provided a positive update on his fitness levels.

"I've been working really hard for the last few months," he said. "With the medical team and everyone, I managed to get myself right finally and I felt good. I wanted to get 60-70 minutes under my belt - I did that.

"I'm feeling strong and feeling good, hopefully to finish the season well against Tottenham [Hotspur], get some rest and then go again for next season.
