Jordan Cousins is making decent progress recovering from a thigh injury - but he won't feature against Newcastle on Wednesday night nor at Blackburn on Saturday.
QPR boss Ian Holloway reckoned the latest setback means the midfielder misses a couple more games to go with those that have already passed him by.
And Holloway is concerned at the amount of niggling injuries Cousins has picked up since joining QPR last summer.
He said: “Jordan Cousins has a thigh tear or strain and that doesn't look good at all.
"Is it just that as the other day it was his hamstring. Is there a misalignment of him somewhere – we've got to get to the bottom of it.
“I'm devastated for the boy. I was trying to save him for this game. He was part of where I was going to do things and he limped off.”
There had been rumours Cousins could have returned to Charlton to regain form with the club that made him a favourite, but Holloway killed that stone dead.
“He wouldn't have gone out anywhere anyway – not at all," he added.
