Round-up: QPR boss feeling the heat, Millwall injury update emerges and Watford dealt setback regarding midfielder

QPR are back in action on Saturday with a tricky away trip to Middlesbrough. Millwall face Sheffield United at home.

Watford have West Brom on Monday. Here is a look at some of the latest news and rumours regarding the Championship trio...

QPR

Pressure is mounting on QPR boss Neil Critchley already according to talkSPORT. The 44-year-old has won just once in his first 11 matches in charge of the London club.

Ex-Hoops manager Harry Redknapp is apparently interested in the Leeds United job, as per The Mirror. He has been out of the dugout since 2017.

Millwall

Millwall have received relatively positive news on the injury front regarding Mason Bennett. It was feared that the attacker suffered a serious long-term injury but is now more likely to be out for around 8-10 weeks, as per London News Online.

Zian Flemming has admitted he wanted to keep former club Fortuna Sittard up before leaving. He joined the Lions last summer and has told the Southwark News: “Obviously last winter there were some transfer rumours, interest and negotiations, but because that was mid-season, I didn’t expect too much of it.

“I didn’t expect Fortuna Sittard to let me go anyway because we were in such a difficult position with the club. At that time, it was quite easy to accept that it wasn’t going to happen. I needed to make sure we stayed in the league first before I could make my nice move.”

Watford

Watford midfielder Tom Cleverley has picked up a thigh injury. His boss Slaven Bilic has told the club website: “It’s a big blow for us. He’s our captain and we’ve been waiting a long time for him to come back. It doesn’t look good. The achilles is okay, but he felt a pop in his thigh and that’s never a good sign.”

Bilic believes there were still plenty of positives to take from their 1-1 draw away at Burnley last time out. The Hornets looked on their way to an impressive win at Turf Moor before the Clarets equalised late on. The manager has told the Watford Observer: “Tonight also shows what we can do. If we come into every game with same spirit, the same organisation, the same attitude, the same mentality – and then add a bit more quality – we can achieve a lot.”
