Concern for QPR man eases after setback
QPR are hopeful a setback Andy Johnson has suffered in his struggle with a knee problem is not as serious as initially feared.
The striker, 32, has missed Rangers’ last two matches and appeared to be in danger of a long spell on the sidelines when he suffered a reaction after returning to training.
There was major swelling around the affected knee, leading to worries that he would be out for some time.
That swelling has significantly reduced over the last 48 hours and it is hoped that Johnson, who missed most of last season, will be able to play again sooner rather than later.
However, he looks certain to be out for at least a couple of weeks and Junior Hoilett will also be unavailable against Yeovil this weekend as the winger is still nursing a hamstring problem.
Rangers were this morning due to assess Nedum Onuoha, who limped out of Wednesday’s 0-0 draw against Brighton after suffering a hamstring injury.
