Diakite included in QPR squad for cup clash
Samba Diakite has been included in the QPR squad for tonight’s Capital One Cup tie against Swindon.
The midfielder, 24, has featured only once for Rangers this year but his expected departure from the club has not materialised and manager Harry Redknapp has decided to bring him back into the fold.
Signed from Nancy in January 2012, initially on loan, Diakite made an instant impact at Loftus Road but has been surplus to requirements for some time.
So too has Luke Young, who has also been drafted into the squad for this evening’s match.
Former England defender Young, who recently turned 34, has been plagued by a hip condition since arriving from Aston Villa two years ago.
He has not played a first-team game since March 2012.
