Crystal Palace boss Hodgson hails 'underrated' Schlupp

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson regards Ghana midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp among the most important men in the club's good start to the season.

The 26-year-old has been a regular face in the Eagles' starting team, having taken over the left-back spot after missing the opening match of the campaign due to fitness concerns.

He has featured in six of the club's seven matches, starting five and assisting one goal.
