- Queen Park Rangers have been dealt a blow after their Sierra Leonean defender, Osman Kakay, was ruled out for up to six weeks with an ankle injury.
- The former Partick Thistle right-back confirmed the news to FSL News.
Kakay, 23, was forced off during Saturday’s defeat by Reading and has missed Stoke City at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium as the two sides played out a drab goalless draw on Tuesday night.
It means Kakay, who has been in excellent form, will miss important matches coming against Wycombe, Swansea, Norwich and Luton Town.
Meanwhile, the London club has been without a win in six matches after a 0-0 draw against Stoke and resulted in them sliding towards the Sky Bet Championship relegation zone.

- Sierra Leone native Josh Koroma was again on target as Huddersfield Town registered a 2-0 win after a much-improved performance at home defeating Osman Kakay’s QPR on Saturday.
- Huddersfield Town after their last defeat to Cardiff ensure they produced an impressive display to inflict a third successive defeat on a lacklustre Queens Park Rangers.
Josh Koroma, 22, scored his side opener with his fifth of the season after he picked up the ball close to half-way to curled a right-footed effort into the top corner.
He was the provider for the second as his well-timed pass after a lovely, flowing move allowed Harry Toffolo to slot home from close range.
The victory was marred, however, when Huddersfield captain Christopher Schindler appeared to suffer a serious knee injury with 15 minutes left and the Austrian needed oxygen before he was taken from the field.
The Terriers move up three places to 13th in the Championship while QPR drop to 18th, four points above the relegation zone.
Sierra Leone International Osman kakay was an unused substitute at the John Smith’s Stadium.

“An amazing feeling to be a champion with Vasalund. I must state I am proud despite not having a great season in terms of more games I would have loved to but winning our group as champions must be every player’s dream.”
“I am relishing the prospect of the Swedish Superettan. My contract will finish in November, but hopefully, I will be discussing my future after the festive holidays.”
“It’s something special as I have always wanted to be a champion where ever I go or play.”
The new Swedish season will commence in March 2021, and Koroma can’t wait to start at the second-highest level of Swedish football.
