QPR have been given a fresh injury update as Sam Field has been passed fit for this weekend’s trip to Southampton.
Field came off in their 1-0 defeat to Ipswich Town in the second half, limping off with a knee injury.
Manager Gareth Ainsworth confirmed that he would be training on Thursday.
“Sam had a historic injury to a knee and after making a block tackle he was worried,” Ainsworth told West London Sport.
“He played 90 minutes against Norwich in midweek which he wasn’t down to do but we had to rotate things.
“But Sam had a tweak of a knee and more a case of him being sensible and coming off.
“I am told he is training today and I am pretty sure he will be fit for Saturday.
“He also got a whack on his head, it wasn’t a concussion and he just made the decision himself and said: ‘I need to come off, I am a bit worried here’.
“But after the tests he was absolutely fine. Sam is a hell of a player for this football club and a fit Sam Field gets in my team every week.”
Sam Field one of many players set to return
Centre-back Jake Clarke-Salter could also be in contention after playing 45 minutes for the Development squad in their win against Coventry City on Monday afternoon, which would be a welcome return for Ainsworth, who has been lacking centre-back options so far this season.
Lyndon Dykes will also be back in training on Thursday after coming off during the Carabao Cup defeat at home to Norwich City with a knee injury.
“It’s only Jimmy (Dunne) who is a long-termer that we safely say is definitely out so I am pleased with where we are as a squad,” Ainsworth.
“It’s going to be needed because we have two big away matches coming up.”Meanwhile, QPR are interested in signing Lynden Gooch.
