Royce ready to be counted

‘I’ve been involved again earlier than I had expected, but that is brilliant,’ said Royce. ‘It shows the manager is thinking about me and about what I can do.

‘He is a former QPR player so he has the club at heart, and he knows Gianni Paladini very well, so, all being well, he will do OK.’
