Huddersfield Town dealt another injury blow as Mark Fotheringham estimates nine players sidelined for QPR clash

Etienne Camara is a doubt for Huddersfield Town’s visit to QPR on Tuesday night after picking up a hip injury.

The midfielder has played in the Terriers’ last eight Championship outings, featuring in every minute before leaving the fray after 72 minutes in the 1-0 loss at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday afternoon.

Huddersfield were already without David Kasumu for the trip to west London as he picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Blackburn.

Ollie Turton is not expected back until well after the World Cup break while Japan international Yuta Nakayama will miss his nation’s campaign in Qatar and the rest of the season with an Achilles injury.

"We might be lighter tomorrow - Etienne Camara has taken a knock to his hip flexor, so he's looking like a real doubt. The injuries we've picked up have all been caused by impacts or illness, not muscular injuries that have come from training or anything - that's the situation we're in,” said manager Mark Fotheringham.

"We know how we'll cover without Camara and Kasumu. In total we're probably missing 9 starters."
