QPR’s Dembele faces long spell out with ACL injury

QPR winger Karamoko Dembele faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a long-term knee injury.

Dembele, 22, was helped off the pitch midway through the first half of the recent win against Coventry.

And scans have confirmed that he has suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage. The injury will require surgery.

He will therefore miss the rest of the campaign and potentially the start of next season.

Dembele has made 51 Championship appearances since arriving from French club Brest, initially on loan, in 2024.
