Jeffrey Schlupp returns to training at Crystal Palace

Ghana midfielder Jefferey Schlupp has returned to training with Crystal Palace after a ten week break due to coronavirus.

The Crystal Palace ace, seen with his heavy beard joined his other teammates including compatriot Jordan Ayew on Tuesday for the first phase of the Premier League's Project Restart.

The first phase involves small groups which allows footballers build up pitch-conditioning and taking part in basic ball work with social distancing guidelines maintained at all times.

With 25 players present on Tuesday, there were three sessions for three groups.

The next phase of training will see a much larger group in a bid to prepare teams for the return of the Premier League.

The English topflight league has been on a ten week suspension due to COVID-19, but it is expected to return in June and ended in July.

Schlupp has been out with an injury since December but his return coincided with the suspension of games in March.
