Ghana denied Afcon secret weapon with Jeffrey Schlupp injury

The Crystal Palace wideman has confirmed that his season has ended prematurely due to an ankle complaint

Crystal Palace coach Roy Hodgson confirmed on Friday that Jeffrey Schlupp had sustained an ankle injury that would sideline him for the rest of the season.

While the Eagles appeared unfazed by the wideman’s setback, it’s an injury that could well have consequences for Ghana as they look to win their first Africa Cup of Nations title since 1982.

Unlike national team coach Kwesi Appiah, Hodgson is under no illusion as to the importance of Schlupp to his side.
