QPR striker Sylla faces spell out with injury

QPR: Idrissa Sylla

QPR striker Idrissa Sylla could be facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a torn calf.

Rangers are assessing the extent of the injury, which will certainly keep Sylla out of Saturday’s game at Bristol City. [phone]

Grant Hall and Paul Smyth have also been ruled out of the trip to Ashton Gate.

Hall has been troubled by a persistent knee injury and is now nursing a problem with the other knee.

Rangers say the problem is not serious and that Hall is being left out as a precaution.

Manager Ian Holloway told the club website: “He has got a slight issue with the other knee so we just have to be cautious with him after so long out.”

Forward Smyth has still not recovered from a thigh problem.

But Jordan Cousins and James Perch are both expected to be included in the Rangers squad.

Perch, who has not made a first-team appearance since August, has played in recent Under-23 games as part of his comeback from a broken kneecap.

Cousins has returned to full training following his latest hamstring problem.
