QPR’s Odubajo to have scan after picking up calf injury
Moses Odubajo will undergo a scan after being withdrawn because of a calf injury during QPR 1-0 win over Derby.
The full-back hobbled off the field shortly before the hour mark to be replaced by Osman Kakay.
Yoann Barbet, meanwhile, missed the game due to the same knee problem which kept him out against Preston prior to starting against Huddersfield.
“It’s a calf problem so we’ll see how he (Odubajo) is,” manager Mark Warburton said.
“A calf might be seven to 10 days or it might be 10 to 12 days. We don’t know. He’ll get it scanned and see how it is.
“Two games in three days was too quick for Yoann. Had it been two days’ time he’d have been fit because the inflammation would have gone down.
“It’s inflammation and when you have the games coming thick and fast, it just flares up and it needs time to calm down.
“He’ll play a game, go with the medical team to get it back into shape, get the inflammation down, and he can come and play.”
Lee Wallace and Jeff Hendrick also missed Monday’s game because of hamstring problems but Warburton is hopeful that Wallace could return in time for Saturday’s trip to Stoke City.
Warburton said: “Lee still felt his hamstring and Jeff was the same. Lee in a couple of days’ time maybe will be available but again, you just can’t risk it.
“We’ve lost too many players to injury, long-term injury, surgery, this season. Whether it be goalkeepers, wing-backs, whatever it may be. We’ve lost too many players.”

We are not playing the free flowing stuff because Warbs has changed the game plan. The injury excuse is exactly that, all the teams around us are suffering injuries too, when we play an out of form team (and by that I mean at the bottom of the league) and we struggle to even get a single goal, with the quality we currently have fit, we should be out of sight by half time. Just look at our bench week after week and tell me injuries are a major problem,.

You can’t expect to see the same caliber of football that you saw earlier in the season with the amount of injuries we have shipped. I agree with you that we are not playing the free-flowing stuff anymore, but that is to be expected. Just hope we can keep the majority of this squad together and the manager ahead of next season.

If only if only that’s what this season is about. I was really pleased with way we were playing and fighting for each other. Then we stopped playing attacking football and most importantly we stopped defending and away went the games in hand the points loads of points. So we still don’t seem to playing back to Decembers level but we are picking up points again, unfortunately we have already played the top eight so I cannot see us slipping into sixth place with three games left but hopefully we will now give it our best shot.
COME on you HOOPS !!!
