We're going down like flies.......... Traore having treatment for back problem please log in to view this image 04/03/2014 By David McIntyre Armand Traore is undergoing treatment for a back problem and is a doubt for QPRâs game against Birmingham this weekend. The former Arsenal man was hurt towards the end of Saturdayâs 1-1 draw against Leeds - a match he featured in after passing a fitness test - but played on because Rangers had used their three substitutions. A trapped nerve is causing pain in his leg as well as back, and his condition will be assessed in the next 48 hours. Traore has been in good form of late, having previously been out of favour under manager Harry Redknapp. Rangers are also hoping that Niko Kranjcar and Gary OâNeil shake off injuries before Saturdayâs match. http://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/armand-traore-injury837373-wls-football
