WINGER David Wheeler has been recalled from his loan spell at League One side Portsmouth.

The QPR attacker was due to spend the season on loan at Fratton Park from the R’s.

However, Rangers have activated a clause in the loan agreement allowing them to recall Wheeler to Loftus Road.

The former Exeter City midfielder has found his chances limited at the table toppers, making just one league start - in part - due to the form of Pompey top scorer Jamal Lowe.

In total Wheeler made 18 appearances for the south coast side in all competitions.

QPR head to Portsmouth this weekend in the FA Cup. Wheeler is cup-tied having featured in the competition twice already this season.
