Could in-form Jeffrey Schlupp be Ghana’s trump card at the Afcon?

The left-sider has reinvented himself at Crystal Palace this term, and his renaissance could be to the Black Stars' benefit

CAF’s official twitter account incorrectly credited Crystal Palace’s Jeffrey Schlupp with Ghana’s goal in their 1-0 win against Kenya on Saturday.

In reality, he had been an unused substitute after his recall to the squad for the Black Stars’ final AFCON 2019 qualifier.

His excellent club form for Palace could not be ignored, and had prompted Kwesi Appiah to bring him back into the fold.

In Tuesday’s friendly match against Mauritania, Schlupp started in a much-changed lineup and lasted 58 minutes before being replaced by club teammate Jordan Ayew.
