Maguire and Bodin missing as Preston host QPR
Posted Friday, August 03, 2018 by PA
Preston will be without Sean Maguire and Billy Bodin for their home game against QPR.
The Lilywhites suffered a double injury setback this week with confirmation that striker Maguire will be sidelined for two months due to a hamstring injury and winger Bodin will be out for six after damaging knee ligaments.
Louis Moult is expected to start in Maguire’s absence, while Callum Robinson and Tom Barkhuizen provide boss Alex Neil with further options up front.
Summer signings Ryan Ledson, Michael Crowe, Jordan Storey, Graham Burke and Andrew Hughes are all in contention.
Former England boss Steve McClaren will take charge of his first competitive game for QPR.
McClaren has made just one summer signing, central defender Toni Leistner from Hertha Berlin, and the German is expected to make his debut.
Despite the lack of new arrivals at Loftus Road, the Hoops will have a different look as the likes of Nedum Onuoha, Jamie Mackie, James Perch, Jack Robinson and Alex Smithies have all left the club.
Matt Ingram is set to start in goal, while midfielder Sean Goss is hoping to feature after being restricted by injury in pre-season.
