Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Warburton has suggested that he might allow Olamide Shodipo to go on loan for the remainder of the 2019-2020 season.
Shodipo has made 20 first team appearances for QPR but his opportunities have been limited this season due to injury, making only two appearances to date, including the 5-1 win vs Swansea City in the Emirates FA Cup. He scored in the QPR U23s v Crystal Palace 3-3 draw in a Professional Development League match the previous Monday as he tries to build up his match fitness ahead of a possible loan move.
