    QPR star set to play in Under-21 game



    20/08/2012
    by David McIntyre
    QPR midfielder Alejandro Faurlin is set to take an important step on the road to a first-team return by featuring in a match later today.

    The Argentine is due to play for Rangers’ newly created development side – which can include three outfield players over the age of 21 – in their opening game of the season against Charlton this afternoon.

    Faurlin came on as a substitute in a recent friendly against Augsburg – his first outing since suffering cruciate damage in an FA Cup tie at MK Dons in January.

    He is now back in full training and manager Mark Hughes is keen for him to step up his comeback.

    Hughes said: “He’s looking good. He just needs game time now so we’ll put him into the game against Charlton and see how it goes.

    “He’s been training fully with the group. We were a bit protective of him initially because of the nature of his injury, but now really the gloves are off and he’s training well.”

    This development sounds good. Does anyone know who the rest of the team are?

    Argentine ace plays 45 minutes

    ALEJANDRO Faurlin played 45 minutes, as QPR Under-21’s kicked off their League Two South division season with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Charlton Athletic.

    Faurlin - who made his comeback against FC Augsburg in the R’s final pre-season friendly nine days ago - started against the Addicks, in a league which allows three outfield players over the age of 21 - as well as a goalkeeper - to feature.

    In a first half which the R’s just edged, the Addicks missed a 25th minute spot-kick when Joe Pigott fired against the post.

    Hogan Ephraim went close with a free-kick, whilst Mo Shariff fired over when under pressure.

    Despite squandering a chance from the spot in the first half, Charlton weren’t about to make the same mistake again in the second period.

    With just five minutes left on the clock, Jordan Cousins was sent tumbling to ground inside the box and Cedric Evina fired home from 12 yards to leave the R’s pondering what might have been.

    QPR: Murphy, Harriman, Sendles-White, Ehmer, Parmenter, Shariff, Sutherland, Ephraim (Andrade 60), Hitchcock, Doughty, Faurlin (Laurent
