• Ghana international Jeffrey Schlupp will not be part of the Crystal Palace squad who are heading to Asia for pre-season camping
• Wilfred Zaha, Michael Olise and Cheikh Doucoure are notable absentees from the 26-man squad heading to Singapore and Australia
• Schlupp played a significant role in Patrick Vieira's side last season having scored three times and registering two assists in 32 appearances in all competitions

Black Stars player Jeffrey Schlupp has been excluded from the Crystal Palace team for pre-season training in Singapore and Australia.

The 26-year-old is set to stay in South London as Crystal Place boss Patrick Vieira is expected to travel with 26 players on tour to play four matches.

The Eagles will take on Liverpool in Singapore on July 15, Manchester United in Melbourne four days later, and Leeds United in Perth on July 2.

It is said some of the players are not currently fit whilst others were unable to meet the entry requirement for Singapore and Australia, hence the decision not to embark on training tour with the entire team.
