Schlupp, a talented midfielder who currently plays for Crystal Palace in the English Premier League, has represented the Black Stars in the past but has been absent from the team in recent years.

With Hughton at the helm of the Ghanaian national team, many fans and pundits alike are eager to see if Schlupp will be given the opportunity to once again showcase his skills on the international stage.

On 7 November 2011, Schlupp was called up to the Ghana squad to face Sierra Leone and Gabon. Schlupp made his Ghana debut against Gabon on 15 November, coming on as a late substitute for Prince Tagoe.
