    QPR defender Nedum Onuoha tested his fitness in a reserve game on Tuesday afternoon.

    Onuoha has been sidelined since aggravating a hamstring problem during the recent draw against Reading.

    He was out for two months before that match and was due to play for Rangers’ Under-21 side the following week. But he had to made a sooner-than-expected return to action at the Madejski Stadium because of a first-half injury to Richard Dunne.

    This time he was able to play as planned in a second-string game, which also featured Niko Kranjcar, Karl Henry, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Armand Traore and striker Javier C10/12/2013

    I found him (Young) for you SB :)

    Good to see Chevy is still here, I'm afraid though that we won't see much of him after AJ has come back.

    Diakite Captain? MB seems to rate him for the reserves, I wonder why he doesn't even make the first team bench.

    I think he's one of the instigators from last season

    I'm sure that is a conspiracy theory!

    It was widely - and sensitively - reported that he was suffering from depression. Here's hoping he's on the road to recovery. At one point he was looking like he might shape up as our very own Patrick Viera.

    There's still time yet for him, if he can get the right support and focus on his footballing talent. Wishing him well!

    Great news, perhaps with a stronger defence, the forwards will have the confidence to bag a few more goals!

    Well if it is depression, it is not something you recover from, just learn how to live (and cope) with it.

    Hope to see him in a hooped shirt again, showing us the talent he has.

    Delighted to read that Diakite is back on track and to make him Captain is very encouraging.

    I think we've got the best defensive record in the league?

    He was starting to look like such as class player but then he just seemed to of disappeared , its weird though because I remember him playing against Everton then going into the reserves again

    Sorry, my point being that the forwards will have less defensive duties to perform.

    Whilst Diakite was outstanding at times, let's not forget he was also capable of running round like a headless chicken, a red card waiting to happen. I'll trust Harry's judgement but the lad did seem to have potential.
