# QPR: Jake Clarke-Salter set to return against Huddersfield

**[Queens Park Rangers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/queens-park-rangers-news/) have been handed an injury boost after manager Michael Beale confirmed that Jake Clarke-Salter will be available for their [Championship](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/championship-news/) clash against Huddersfield Town on Tuesday night.**

### The Lowdown: Spell on the sidelines

The R’s come into this fixture off the back of some disappointing results, having lost two and drawn one of their last [three](https://www.skysports.com/queens-park-rangers-results) games, although will be hoping to turn that form around against the Terriers tonight.

The centre-back has missed the previous [two](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jake-clarke-salter/leistungsdaten/spieler/316551) games after sustaining a knee injury, although his boss has now delivered a positive update on the player’s progress, and it’s one that QPR supporters will be happy to hear.

### The Latest: Clarke-Salter fitness update

Speaking to [Football League World](https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/luke-amos-injury-issue-detailed-while-missing-qpr-player-expected-to-return-on-tuesday/amp/) following Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to West Brom, with the quotes published on Monday, Beale provided an update on Luke Amos before revealing that Clarke-Salter is set to make a return to the matchday squad for tonight.

The 42-year-old said: “He’s \[Amos\] a bit tight in his hamstring, which is not great. We’ll see how he reports back tomorrow. Jake will be back for Tuesday.”

### The Verdict: Boost for Beale

QPR only signed Clarke-Salter from Chelsea [over the summer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jake-clarke-salter/transfers/spieler/316551), but it will be a huge boost for Beale to have him back at his disposal given the instant impact he has made since the start of the season.

The ‘vocal’ 25-year-old, as [dubbed](https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/jake-clarke-salter-profile-young-24175690?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target) by John Terry, was averaging 3.8 clearances and 3.8 successful aerial duels per game before his absence ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/312919/Show/Jake-Clarke-Salter)).

\[freshpress-poll id=”414822″\]

Those returns put him among the top three in Beale’s squad for both metrics ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/171/Show/England-Queens-Park-Rangers)), highlighting how much of a rock he is at the heart of the backline.

Huddersfield are currently bottom of the table – so if there’s anyone you’d want to play when in need of a win, it would appear to be Mark Fotheringham’s side – and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for QPR to pick up a much-needed three points to maintain their push for a promotion place.
