Harry Wilson set to return for Hull

Posted Friday, April 06, 2018 by PA

Harry Wilson could return to the Hull team for Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship clash with QPR.

Manager Nigel Adkins rested the on-loan Liverpool winger for Tuesday’s 2-2 draw with leaders Wolves to allow him to recover from his exertions with Wales in China during the international break.

Adkins otherwise has only a few niggles with which to contend after seeing Angus MacDonald line up at Wolves despite limping off against Aston Villa three days earlier.

Fellow defender Stephen Kingsley made his first senior appearance since September in midweek, but Moses Odubajo and Evandro continue to work their way back to full fitness and James Weir remains a long-term absentee.

QPR boss Ian Holloway is playing his cards close to his chest ahead of the trip to the KCOM Stadium.

Holloway revealed he may have to make changes with illness having swept through the camp this week, and he hinted he may also hand a chance to players who have impressed him in training.

Massimo Luongo, Ryan Manning, Eberechi Eze and Matt Smith were all drafted into the team which bounced back from a 1-0 defeat at Reading on Good Friday to beat Norwich 4-1 three days later and they will all hope to retain their places.

Holloway has also confirmed James Perch and Jamie Mackie could yet be involved as the season draws to a close despite the pair being told this week that their contracts will not be renewed.
