Midfielder Luke Hyam will take to the field for the first time since January, when he plays for an Ipswich Town development side at QPR this afternoon.

The homegrown youngster has been absent with a knee injury since the FA Cup loss to Southampton at Portman Road but, having recently returned to training, has been named in Mark Kennedy’s development side to face the hoops this afternoon.

Also involved in the game will be full-backs Josh Emmanuel and Myles Kenlock, as well as striker James Alabi.

The young Blues will be looking to get back to winning ways, after losing 3-1 top Brentford on Monday.
