QPR assessing Dembele knee injury

By

QPR are assessing the extent of a knee injury suffered by Karamoko Dembele.

The 21-year-old picked up the injury on the eve of last weekend’s goalless draw at Burnley.

He missed the game at Turf Moor along with defender Morgan Fox, who picked up a thigh problem.

Both players have also been ruled out of Saturday’s home match against Championship leaders Sunderland.

While Rangers expect Fox to return soon, there is less certainty over Dembele and how long he might be unavilable for.

On a brighter note for the R’s, defender Liam Morrison returned to full training on Friday morning following his own knee injury.

Dembele was signed from French club Brest in the summer on a season-long loan ahead of an agreed permanent move at the end of the campaign.
