QPR's Celar facing spell out with hamstring injury

QPR have confirmed forward Zan Celar will face an unspecified "period of time" out of action because of a hamstring injury.

The Slovenia striker was forced off after just 13 minutes of Saturday's 3-0 win over Norwich City.

"The performance services department are currently working through early medical processes to ensure he is on the correct rehabilitation path and a further update on his timelines will be provided in due course," the club said in an injury update.

Celar went goalless in his first 16 appearances for QPR after signing from Swiss side Lugano in the summer.

He finally broke his duck with both goals in a 2-0 win at Cardiff last month.

In more positive injury news for the R's, QPR say they expect to have Ilias Chair, Michael Frey and Jake-Clarke Salter back before the busy festive period of fixtures.
