Eckert hopeful Larin and Downes return; QPR squad includes Chair, Kemper

Southampton head coach Tonda Eckert expressed optimism that at least one of injured players Cyle Larin or Flynn Downes will be available for the upcoming match against Queens Park Rangers. Both players missed recent games due to injury, with Downes also absent from a match two weeks ago. Meanwhile, QPR manager Julien Stephan is cautiously optimistic about Ilias Chair and Boy Kemper returning from injuries, though Jake Clarke-Salter remains doubtful after missing training in the early part of the week.
