QPR hope for triple player boost vs Southampton as Julien Stephan delivers ‘quite positive’ update

Queens Park Rangers manager Julien Stephan is hopeful that Ilias Chair, Boy Kemper, and Alfie Lloyd could return from injury for Saturday's match against Southampton. Speaking to West London Sport, Stephan described his outlook on the injury front as "quite positive." Chair and Lloyd have resumed training, while Stephan expects left-back Kemper to be fit despite missing earlier sessions this week.

However, doubt remains over defender Jake Clarke-Salter after he missed QPR's recent 5-0 win over Swansea City with an undisclosed issue. Dennis Cirkin is set to return from suspension, offering depth at full-back, while key players Rumarn Burrell and Nicolas Madsen remain sidelined as eighth-placed QPR prepare for their upcoming fixture.
