Hodgson gives an update on Schlupp ahead of the game against Leicester

Published on: 23 April 2021

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson is pleased with the fitness of Jeffrey Schlupp ahead of Monday's Premier League match against Leicester City.

Schlupp is regaining his fitness following a one-month layoff. He made an impact after coming on as a substitute in his last match, as his assist set up his club's lone goal in a 4-1 home loss to Chelsea.

"We’ve got a lot of players back, good news,” Hodgson said in his pre-match press conference on Thursday.

“Schlupp, [Mamadou] Sakho and [James] Tomkins are training. As big a group for a long time.

Schlupp has made 20 league appearances this season, including 12 starts, for Palace, who are currently 13th in the table. He's has scored two goals this season.

Schlupp joined Palace in 2017 after winning the Premier League with Leicester City in 2015-16.
