Holloway to take no chances with Robinson

Ian Holloway says QPR will take no chances with Jack Robinson following the left-back’s latest injury.

Robinson has returned to light training following a hamstring problem and will not be considered for Thursday’s match against Wolves.

He also missed Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Ipswich, having had to be substituted at half-time during the home win against Norwich the previous weekend.

Robinson, who has battled his way back from a long-term knee injury, impressed Holloway in his 45-minute outing against Norwich.

And the Rangers boss is determined to give him time to make a full recovery.

Holloway said: “We can’t risk it. He’s out there running but with one game and then almost 10 days (without a game), we can’t risk it.

“I never risk my players. I need him long term, not short term.”

Holloway rates Jake Bidwell as one of the Championship’s best left-backs but Robinson’s display as a wing-back gave Holloway food for thought.

“I thought he was terrific – absolutely the sort of attitude I’m looking for,” Holloway said.

“We lack that a little bit in wide areas – wonderful skill. He was fantastic and we’ve got to do what’s right for him.”
