QPR to assess Cousins and Polter injuries

QPR will assess Jordan Cousins and Sebastian Polter in the next 48 hours after both players picked up injuries in the 1-1 draw against Birmingham.

Midfielder Cousins went off with a hamstring problem during the first half but does not believe the injury is serious.

And striker Polter, who came on as a substitute, picked up a heavy knock and was on crutches after the game at Loftus Road.

Referring to Cousins’ injury, manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said: “We will have to assess that.

“It’s his hamstring and he himself thinks it’s not too bad and that it just cramped up.”

Meanwhile, Yeni Ngbakoto missed the match because of a thigh injury he picked up in training.

The French winger could be available for Tuesday’s trip to face Hasselbaink’s former club Burton.

Hasselbaink was encouraged by his team’s performance against Birmingham and praised recent signing Pawel Wszolek, who impressed after coming on for Cousins.
