Luke Young suffered another injury setback when he went off after picking up a knock during the first half of an Under-21 game against Brentford on Monday afternoon.
The QPR defender, who is trying to overcome a longstanding hip problem, lasted 26 minutes of the game at the Bees’ Osterely training ground, where Rangers won 4-2.
Young, 33, has not played a first-team match for a year and R’s boss Harry Redknapp recently suggested the former England international’s career was in jeopardy.
There was brighter news for Brentford in that Kevin O’Connor and Farid El Alagui again featured following their respective injuries.
Young was involved in the opening goal, crossing for Mo Shariff to score after only two minutes.
Sam Griffiths equalised before Max Ehmer restored Rangers’ lead and Mike Petrasso and Taylor Parmenter netted second-half goals.
Lee Hodson scored a late consolation for the home side.
