Round-up: QPR receive injury boost, Millwall man steps up recovery and Watford set sights on summer transfer target

QPR are back in action this weekend at home to rivals Millwall. The R’s are currently four points behind the Lions in the table.

Watford take on Blackburn Rovers at Vicarage Road. In the meantime, here is a look at some of the latest news and rumours regarding the Championship trio...

QPR

QPR midfielder Luke Amos played for the B team earlier this week against Millwall. The former Tottenham Hotspur man has been out with a muscle injury but has stepped up his recovery now.

Defender Leon Balogun is still a few weeks away from being fit, as per West London Sport. He has been out of action for the past three months.

Millwall

St Johnstone boss Callum Davidson has admitted he thought Millwall would bring Alex Mitchell back from his loan spell last month. The defender ended up staying put in Scotland because Leeds United didn’t recall Charlie Cresswell from The Den. Davidson has told The Courier: “My biggest concern was a phone call from supposedly one of my best mates to tell me I was losing Alex! It was a real possibility.”

Gary Rowett has revealed that winter signing Aidomo Emakhu is out on the grass now as he looks to build up his fitness. He has said, as per the Southwark News: “He’s out on the grass as the moment, not training yet, but he’s looking good. He’s done a lot of work in the gym, he looks like he’s built his strength up, he looks really good around the place. He’s such a lovely lad, he’s so polite, he comes up and speaks to everyone in the dressing room after the game, shaking people’s hands.”

Watford

Watford are said to be keen on Roma right-back Bryan Reynolds, according to GVA. He has been on loan in Belgium at Westerlo this term and is due to return to Italy at the end of the campaign.

The Hornets have terminated striker Rey Manaj’s contract. He has struggled to make an impact since his transfer last summer.
