The Story in 60 Seconds

Queens Park Rangers head coach Julien Stephan confirmed that striker Justin Obikwu was scheduled to return to training on Tuesday. The 22-year-old attacker has been sidelined with an injury throughout the current season and has missed the last two weeks of preparation ahead of QPR's Friday night away clash against West Ham.

Obikwu joined QPR from Coventry City last January but has registered just one competitive appearance for the London club. With Richard Kone sidelined by injury and Rumarn Burrell considered doubtful for the upcoming match, Obikwu's recovery provides needed attacking depth for the sixth-placed Championship side.
