Jeffrey Schlupp has praised Crystal Palace’s medical team for pushing him back to full fitness before the end of the season.

The 25-year-old picked up an injury against Brighton in January that led to him missing two months of action and he then suffered a setback on his return in March which also kept him out.

Despite the problems, the Ghana international came on for the final few minutes of the win over Leicester and he says his return is down to the excellent medical staff at the club.

Schlupp has chalked up 26 appearances for Palace this term.

He said: “I’m delighted to be out there playing again.

“When I first got injured there were fears that my season was done but all the staff and the medical team worked hard with me and I managed to come back earlier than expected.

“I’ve had a bit of time with them before when I injured my knee and I put all my trust in them.

“They know how my body works and they’ve managed to do a great job and get me back for the last few games – all credit to them.”
