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 Rangersâ newly created development side â which can include three outfield players over the age of 21 â in their opening game of the season against Charlton this afternoon. Faurlin came on as a substitute in a recent friendly against Augsburg â 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: âHeâs looking good. He just needs game time now so weâll put him into the game against Charlton and see how it goes. âHeâs 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 heâs training well.â Good news we need this guy back in the team
A couple of weeks back Hughes was saying that he would take time to gradually work him back to full fitness and by the sound of it I thought we would be lucky to see him in september. By the sound of this âHeâs 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 heâs training well.â we will see him on Saturday. Don't panic Mr Mainwaring
