News in brief: Cup draw, QPR youngster’s loan deal, Della-Verde injury

By

FA Cup draw
All four west London clubs have been drawn at home in the third round of the FA Cup.

Chelsea will host Watford, now managed by former Blues midfielder Slavisa Jokanovic. The two sides met in the third round in both 2009-10 and 2003-04, and the fifth round in 2008-09.

QPR play Sheffield United, last season’s semi-finalists, at Loftus Road – a repeat of a third-round tie from 2009-10.

Both Brentford and Fulham were drawn at home to fellow Championship opposition. The Bees will entertain Brighton, who they beat 3-2 at Griffin Park earlier in the season, while Fulham host Wolves, hoping to avenge the 1-0 defeat they suffered in August.

Michael Harriman
The QPR full-back has had his loan deal at Luton Town extended until 10 January. The 22-year-old has made 10 appearances for the League Two high-flyers and been on the losing side just once.

Jamie Sendles-White
QPR’s 20-year-old centre-back has returned to Loftus Road after his loan spell at Mansfield Town was cut short. The Northern Ireland under-21 international played eight games for the Stags after joining in October and was due to stay at Field Mill until early January.

Chelsea
The Blues have agreed a deal for their development teams to continue to play at Aldershot Town next season. Chelsea’s Under-21s have played at the ESS Stadium for the past 18 months, while the Under-18s’ successful FA Youth Cup run last term began at the Conference Premier club’s ground.

QPR Ladies
In the second round of the FA Women’s Cup, QPR have been drawn away to Eastbourne Town of the London and South East Regional Premier Division. Two leagues separate the two teams, who will meet at the The Saffrons on Sunday 11 January.

Lyle Della-Verde
The Fulham winger has been ruled out for at least three weeks with ankle ligament damage, ending his loan spell at Bristol Rovers. The 19-year-old was hurt during a Conference Premier match against Wrexham last week. He made seven appearances for Rovers but will now go back to Craven Cottage for treatment.

Dennis Marriott
The former Middlesex bowler, who took more than 80 wickets for the club between 1972 and 1974, has died, aged 75. The left-armer was one of a relatively small group of players to have represented both Middlesex and Surrey.
