Roberts to start for QPR against Huddersfield

By

Tyler Roberts will start for QPR against Huddersfield on Saturday.

The on-loan Leeds forward has struggled for fitness since his arrival at Loftus Road but came on as a substitute in the defeat at Swansea and has trained fully this week.

Roberts can operate up front or in a withdrawn role, but boss Mick Beale is keen to deploy him as a striker and will select him for this weekend’s game.


Lyndon Dykes has found the going tough in attack this season, scoring just once and missing a number of chances.

Rangers wanted to bring in a striker during the transfer window and were unable to do so, but Beale regards Roberts as a viable option in that position.

Beale has been considering other changes, such as switching to a back three and playing Ilias Chair in a slightly deeper role.
