Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has confirmed that Ghanaian midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp will not be available for their upcoming game in the English Premier League.
Schlupp, who has been sidelined due to injury, will continue his recovery process and miss the clash against Luton Town at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon.
Glasner’s announcement comes as Schlupp has been absent from Palace’s last two league matches, with the manager opting not to rush the player back into action. However, Schlupp’s compatriot, Jordan Ayew, will be fit and ready to start against Luton Town, with no injury concerns surrounding him.
The absence of Schlupp will be felt by Palace, but Ayew’s availability provides a boost for the team as they aim to secure a positive result in their upcoming fixture.
“Jeff Schlupp had the training session today. He won’t be in the squad tomorrow, but then we have three weeks with no game, and after the national team break I expect him to be back in the squad,” Glasner said.
“So this gives us more options. It is always good as a manager to have the players on the pitch [rather] than in the gym,” he added.
Schlupp has played 20 games, scored one goal, and assisted one in the Premier League this season.
