QPR manager Chris Ramsey is hoping a sickness bug doesn’t force him to tear up his plans for Saturday’s trip to Huddersfield Town.

There’s not many players on the treatment table but several of the Hoops’ young prospects are struggling with the problem this week.

The squad trained at Loftus Road on Thursday in front of more than 1,000 supporters and are in good shape ahead of the clash with the Terriers.

Karl Henry is on red alert as he expects the birth of his first child and Ramsey hopes the midfielder is the only one of his first-team who could be missing against Chris Powell’s men.

Ramsey explained: “We haven’t got many injuries to be honest.

“Karl Henry is expecting a child this weekend so I’m not sure if he’ll be involved.

“Apart from that, we’ve got a little bit of illness around the place so we’re keeping our fingers crossed that everyone’s okay for the game.

“It’s just the kind of illness that people have at this time of the year when the weather changes, it’s nothing too much.

“A couple of the young lads have had a bit of a dicky stomach but we’re hoping that we’ll have pretty much a full-strength squad for the game.”

Jamie Mackie has been struggling with a groin injury while defender Yun Suk-Young is working his way back from a knee problem.

Saturday’s game comes too soon for the pair but the QPR boss hopes to have them back in contention following the conclusion of the forthcoming international break.

He added: “The medical team have done a really good job at the moment in getting people on the field so I’m really pleased with what’s going on.

“The mood has been good.

“One of the things you have to do is that when things don’t go well is that you don’t let that ruin the rest of the week and the season.

“There’s going to be games where we’re not going to do so well this season and that applies to all teams, it’s about the resilience we have to show.

“Hopefully this weekend we’ll go and able to have a good break by getting a good result.”
