By

QPR midfielder Alejandro Faurlin has been told he can begin running next week as he steps up his recovery from a knee injury.

The Argentine has been using an anti-gravity treadmill as part of his rehabilitation and is now ready to take to the training pitch at Harlington, where he is spending most of his summer.

“Next week I think I will start to run outside, which is great news for me,” Faurlin told West London Sport.

“I’m excited about it – really looking forward to it. It’s great that I will be able to get out there.

“I’ve been running [on the anti-gravity treadmill] and have been building up slowly. Things are going really well.”
