Campbell Could Be Recalled Claim - Ipswich Town News
QPR boss Mark Hughes could recall striker DJ Campbell from his loan at Town to cover injuries at Loftus Road, according to one of this morning's tabloids.
Andy Johnson is expected to miss the rest of the season with a knee problem, while Bobby Zamora may need hip surgery.
Hughes reportedly may decide to bring Campbell back from his three-month spell at Town, in which he has so far scored four goals in eight games.
Campbell wasn't included in QPR's 25-man squad but clubs can be given dispensation to draft players in in extreme circumstances such as an injury crisis. Otherwise, the 31-year-old could return when the transfer window reopens. His loan is due to end on January 5th.
However, with the West Londoners still to win a league game this season, Hughes may not be the man making those decisions at Loftus Road for too much longer.
