Taarabt scheduled to return to action

Adel Taarabt is set to return to action later today.

Taarabt, recently involved in an extraordinary public fall-out with manager Harry Redknapp, is due to play for QPR’s development side in a match against Swansea this afternoon.

He has been accused of being overweight and unfit to play by Redknapp and missed training last week because of illness.

But Redknapp has insisted the Moroccan can expect to be given a first-team recall if he proves his fitness.

“Absolutely he is in my thoughts,” Redknapp said.

“We need him fit and need him available. I’ve told Adel that but it’s up to him now.”
