Leicester City’s Ghanaian international defender, Jeffry Schlupp has said that the number of Leicester City players participating in international matches over the next few days is evidence of how far the club has come.
A total of 16 Foxes could see action for their nations over the final international break of the 2015/16 campaign, as City’s Barclays Premier League season takes a two-week pause.
And Schlupp says that is testament to the quality of players currently in the Club’s ranks, with midfield duo Danny Drinkwater and N’Golo Kanté the most recent to earn maiden call-ups.
Schlupp told Foxes Player HD: “I’d like to say a big well done to Drinky (Danny Drinkwater) and [N’Golo] Kanté on getting their first call-ups.
“They’re two massive countries – France and England – so it means a lot to both of them and everyone else at the Club of course.
“It shows how far we’ve come. 16 players going away is a big statement really. It’s a great achievement for Leicester City as a whole.”
Schlupp, alongside January signing Daniel Amartey, will hope to again take to the field for Ghana, who face Mozambique in an Africa Cup of Nations double header over the international break.
Schlupp said of Ghana’s fixtures: “We’ve got some tough games coming up – a home and away leg against Mozambique. That will definitely be tough.
“It won’t be in ideal conditions and it’s going to be another grind, but hopefully we can come away with another couple of wins there.”
