Trio could be missing for PNE's trip to Loftus Road
Lancashire Evening Post
|August 06, 2025
North End have reportedly been dealt a new triple injury blow ahead of the season opener at Queens Park Rangers.
The Lilywhites kick off their 2025/26 campaign at Loftus Road, and manager Paul Heckingbottom looked set to only be without summer signing Jordan Thompson.
Now it is suggested they could be missing Brad Potts, Will Keane and Robbie Brady this weekend.
Northern Ireland international Thompson arrived with an ankle injury suffered at the end of last season, but PNE expected him to return ahead of the season start.
Heckingbottom, though, confirmed after the preseason friendly at Bolton Wanderers that Thompson had been dealt a setback on his road to recovery.
It was stated that there had been a 'misdiagnosis' of the 28-year-old's issue.
Other than that, the North End squad looked to be in steady shape.
