Granero pull off a Dyer

QPR are assessing a hamstring injury suffered by Esteban Granero in their 1-1 draw with West Brom in the FA Cup.

The Spanish midfielder was replaced at the interval after struggling through the final minutes of the first half.

Earlier, Rangers made a last-minute change to their bench, taking Shaun Wright-Phillips out of the matchday squad after he too complained of a hamstring problem.

Manager Harry Redknapp explained: “With Granero it was a slight hamstring problem. I took him off before he tore it.”

Meanwhile, Rangers believe the hamstring injury which forced Junior Hoilett to come off at Chelsea and kept him out of the Albion game is not serious.

The R’s face a replay after Kieron Dyer’s last-gasp equaliser meant they were spared another home defeat.

West Brom were the better side for much of the game and looked to have booked their place in the fourth round after Shane Long’s 79th-minute opener.

“We didn’t want to get beaten – that was important,” said Redknapp.

“If we’ve got to have a replay then have a replay. The most important thing was not to get beaten and it was interesting to look at some players I hadn’t seen before.”

All these hamstrings are a bit of a worry, different training methods?

 

Good to see they are getting on

 

"Granero pull off a Dyer"

That's an image I really don't need. This is a family website.

 

Many hamstings is definitely a sign of bad training or bad warming up.

We should seriously look into this.

 

Hoilett, Granero and SWP are now on injury list with hamstrings, am I right? There must be something wrong with the training methods. The hamstrings injuries are the most common ones because the muscle is under great pressure especially when you have dissbalance between quads and hams and then again poor muscle flexibility.

 

I think Harry said he only took Granero off as a precaution as he was feeling something, no actual pull. And gather it was the same with SWP, he still sat on the bench didn't he?

 

SWP was on the bench, but I've only read this and in the article it says they both have some slighter hamstrings injuries. And I believe it's the sam thing with Hoilett

 

It is likely that there has been a change in the training and its put more strain on the hamstrings thats all. I expect that its a short term thing

 

Hoillet got some kind of a pull against Chelsea after about 15 minutes - he was in apparent pain and was helped off the pitch. Read both Granero and SWP were just precautions, no actual injury.

 

I hope so, it's not good time to start losing players to injuries, if there is ever a good time for that.

 

SWP was not on the bench, ironically if he was, we would have won the game because Onuoha was called in to replace him and set up their goal.

If you look at the team sheets, Onuoha isnt listed on there as the replacement was made so late that it was only noticed at HT.

 

#QPR Subs: Green, Derry, Ferdinand, Cisse, Wright-Phillips, Faurlin, Bothroyd #QPRvWBA

You're right mate, I haven't noticed that

 

Strange! I was just going by the team sheet.
