QPR star steps up recovery
MARTIN Rowlands will return to action for the first time in 10 months tomorrow – with a stark warning from his manager about the midfielder’s future.
The Republic of Ireland player smashed his cruciate ligament playing for his country last October, and QPR boss Neil Warnock is only too aware time is running out for the 31-year-old.
Rowlands will get a 30-minute run-out against West Ham in a closed doors friendly on Tuesday, with Warnock waiting to see if his advice has been heeded.
The manager said: “Part of Rowly’s game is whole-hearted tackling - which has also cost him in the past.
"And I think one of the ways we can improve him is to get him to release the ball earlier when he’s looking for a pass.”
