Kwame Poku returns for QPR in upcoming Championship fixture against Middlesbrough

Summary

QPR manager Julien Stephan confirmed that winger Kwame Poku will return to the squad for Saturday’s Championship match against Middlesbrough. The forward missed Wednesday’s victory over Cardiff City as a precaution following recent hamstring issues that impacted his performance earlier this season. Stephan stated the break was necessary to manage the player's physical condition after a difficult first campaign at the club. The return provides an offensive option for the team as they prepare for the weekend engagement at home. Poku is expected to be fully available for selection when the team hosts Middlesbrough.
