QPR vs Middlesbrough - Ben Gladwin could be added to QPR squad

Posted Thursday, March 31, 2016 by PA

Ben Gladwin could be added to the QPR squad for the visit of Middlesbrough.

The midfielder recently returned to the club from a loan spell at Bristol City for treatment on a knee injury.

Gladwin is now fit and Rangers have confirmed he will stay with them to play a part over the final eight matches of the season.

Defender Grant Hall is also available after a spell out with a foot injury.

Defender Daniel Ayala could return as Middlesbrough attempt to thrown down the promotion gauntlet once again.

Ayala has missed the last nine Sky Bet Championship games - of which Boro have won just four - with a hamstring strain which has robbed frustrated head coach Aitor Karanka of his most accomplished defender.

However, the Spaniard is back in training and in contention for a first start since February 6 at Loftus Road, where a draw would be enough to take Boro, who have a game in hand on top two Burnley and Brighton, back into second place on goal difference for a few hours at least.

Teenager Dael Fry is back on Teesside after playing his part in England Under-19s' 2-0 victory over Spain to book their place in this summer's Euro finals in Germany, but Damia Abella remains on the sidelines with his knee injury.
