From London24 """ QPR boss Mark Hughes is hopeful that first-choice goalkeeper Julio Cesar will be able to manage his elbow injury. The Brazilian stopper, who has been an ever-present in the Welshmanâs starting XI since his debut against Chelsea on September 15, has been playing through the pain barrier since joining the Râs in August. The clubâs medics have devised a special training programme to prevent the injury from worsening and Hughes is hopeful that it will be enough to keep Cesar off the operating table. âHe manages it,â the Welshman told London24. âMost players have manageable ailments. âWeâre not at a point where we think he needs an operation.â With Rob Green reportedly unhappy at being left as number two choice after moving to the Râs in June any such operation would give him the opportunity to reclaim his place in the first-team. But Hughes revealed that, should Cesar need an operation, the club would look to keep the 33-year-old going until the end of the campaign. âIf he did then we would look at it at the end of the season,â the manager admitted. âIt wonât happen during the season.â The former England international has been rumoured to be looking at moving to another club unless he forces his way back into Hughesâ plans. And the Welshman would be prepared to let a goalkeeper leave if a move was mutually beneficial. He said in September: âIf in the future any of my keepers came to me and said they felt their future lay elsewhere then we can have a conversation about that and make a decision that benefited everyone. âBut at the moment itâs early days and the challenge is there for all my keepers.â """"
