Queens Park Rangers have indicated they will not follow up Jeff Hendrick's loan spell at Loftus Road with a permanent offer.
The Republic of Ireland international made seven starts for the London side after leaving Newcastle in January on loan after learning he would not be part of Eddie Howe's 25-man squad. Hendrick is one of a potential 32 senior players returning to the club for pre-season with Howe admitting that players would be leaving this summer when asked on Sunday.
With Hendrick having two years left of his £50,000 per week deal, Howe will have a decision to make on a player he has rarely played since coming in as boss last November. Hendrick scored the last goal of the Mike Ashley era in the 2-1 autumn loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
