Head Physio Paul Hunter has reported mixed news from the treatment room this morning (Thursday).

R's defensive duo Matthew Connolly and Fitz Hall both limped out of Tuesday's 3-1 defeat to Cardiff City at Ninian Park, and while the former's injury isn't as bad as initially feared, former Wigan defender Hall will definitely miss Saturday's showdown against Bristol City.

"Matt sustained a heavy blow to his thigh which caused his knee to hyper-extend," Hunter told www.qpr.co.uk.

"We were initially quite concerned about the knee, so we sent him for a scan, but I'm pleased to report his knee is fine. Effectively he has just suffered heavy bruising.

"It is too early to say at this stage whether he will be fit for this weekend, but needless to say, we will be giving him intense treatment in order to give him the best possible chance.."

Hunter added: "Unfortunately Fitz suffered a torn groin muscle and will now require a period of rehabilitation.

"He will certainly be unavailable for Saturday's fixture, but it is just too early to say how long he will be out of action for."
