Chris Willock suffered an injury during Tuesday night's clash with Sheffield United and will be replaced by Lyndon Dykes for the visit of Reading. Mick Beale could make two changes to the midfield trio that faced the Blades in midweek with Aston Villa loanee Tim Iroegbunam and the experienced Stefan Johansen both likely to return. Defender Andy Yiadom's injury is much less severe than first feared with the Ghanaian international expected back either on Friday or for the clash with West Brom. Mamadou Loum could make way on Friday night with Tom Ince dropping into a deeper role and Lucas Joao returning to the starting XI up front.
Like their visitors, QPR produced a noteworthy statement on Tuesday night with Chris Willock's second-half goal proving enough to earn Rangers a 1-0 away win against Sheffield United. Mick Beale's men occupy fourth place following a return of ten points from their last four league outings. Reading proved that their early season form is no purple patch on Tuesday night as they pushed promotion favourites Norwich all the way in a 1-1 home draw. The Royals remain third but have closed the gap to within two points of league leaders Sheffield United. 1:1
