QPR Trio Out for Brighton Match – Latest Update
Three key players for Queens Park Rangers will be sidelined for their final pre-season match against Brighton. Ilias Chair, Lyndon Dykes, and Morgan Fox have all missed recent friendlies and will not be participating in the upcoming game at Loftus Road.
Lyndon Dykes, in particular, is facing another setback with an ankle injury. The Scotland striker, who missed Euro 2024 due to a similar injury, recently returned to full training but suffered a relapse during a friendly at Reading. Despite his injury woes, there is still a possibility that he might be ready for Rangers’ first Championship match against West Bromwich Albion on August 12.
On the other hand, Chair and Fox are unlikely to feature in the opening game. Manager Marti Cifuentes expressed his concerns over Chair’s availability, stating that there is uncertainty surrounding his participation. Meanwhile, Fox, who has been struggling with injuries, faced another setback with discomfort in his back before the Reading match.
Cifuentes praised Fox for his professionalism and contributions to the team, emphasizing his importance on and off the pitch. The defender’s absence will be felt, but the focus now is on supporting him through his recovery process and getting him back to full fitness as soon as possible.
Injuries are an unfortunate part of football, and the QPR camp is rallying behind their sidelined players to ensure they receive the necessary care and rehabilitation. While the absence of Chair, Dykes, and Fox is a setback, it also presents an opportunity for other squad members to step up and make their mark in the upcoming matches. As the team prepares for the new season, the priority is on regaining full strength and form to face the challenges ahead.
