QPR unsure when summer signing Kemper will return

Julien Stephan says QPR are unsure when Boy Kemper will return from an ankle injury.

The left-back, who was signed during the summer, went off in the first half of his Championship debut, against Portsmouth on the opening day of the season.

He was unavailable for Saturday’s 0-0 draw against Bolton, with Kealey Adamson filling in at left-back.

Head coach Stephan said: “It’s an ankle injury. It’s difficult now to determine how long he will be out.

“We have to assess it week by week. I don’t know exactly how long he will be out.”

Another recent signing, Glen Kamara, sat out the Bolton game with what Stephan insisted is a minor niggle.

The draw was frustrating for Rangers, who created several chances – a number of them missed by Richard Kone, who had an afternoon to forget.

And Stephan insisted they should have been awarded a second-half penalty when Koki Saito was upended in the box.

The Frenchman said: “If we deserve a penalty, we need to have a penalty. I am really convinced that in the same situation – West Ham, Wolverhampton, Middlesbrough, on their pitch – it’s a penalty.

“So we deserve to have the same whistle than the other the other clubs. Even if we are a little club in the league – perhaps, but we deserve the same respect.

“And I don’t feel that we have the same respect the last two games in terms of decisions. It’s a shame, because it changes a couple of things.

“But it’s not the only reason (for the result). The main, first reason is because we didn’t score when we had our opportunities.”
