QPR forward in line for return against Middlesbrough

QPR boss Julien Stephan expects Kwame Poku to be available for Saturday’s Championship clash with Middlesbrough.

Poku has made an encouraging start to the season after struggling with hamstring problems during his first campaign at Rangers.

The winger was rested for Wednesday’s victory over Cardiff City, but Stephan has confirmed he should return to the squad for the visit of Middlesbrough.

“Poku needed to rest,” Stephan said.

“But he will be available on Saturday, no problem.”
