RANGERS boss Ian Holloway has told www.qpr.co.uk that his team may well be without defensive duo Alex Baptiste and Jack Robinson for Saturday’s trip to face Brentford in the Sky Bet Championship.
There’ll be a late call on Baptiste, who is currently being assessed for a knee injury picked up this week, while Robinson has gone down with an illness.
With captain Nedum Onuoha still suspended and Grant Hall and Joel Lynch out for the remainder of the campaign, Ollie admitted that he may well have to blood at least one more youngster at Griffin Park.
“We’ve got a bit of an injury crisis in defence,” Ollie explained. “Baps has a problem with his knee and Robbo is ill.
“We’ll find out about Baps today – but it’s not really ideal on the Friday before a game.
“However, it gives me the chance to play one or two other younger ones and see if they can step in.
“It’s a good opportunity to see what I’ve got ahead of next year – but I want the young ones to impress us and make a name for themselves.”
