Injury Update: Buzsaky Misses WBA Game

-
QPR Official Site - TALKING WOUNDED
As the R's get ready for the final match of the season against title-chasing West Bromwich Albion this weekend, Head Physio Paul Hunter has delivered mixed news from the Treatment Room.
Patrick Agyemang, Fitz Hall and Akos Buzsaky all missed last weekend's 3-0 defeat at Norwich City, and unfortunately Hungarian Buzsaky won't be able to shake off his niggling injury problem in time for the visit of the Baggies.
The Rangers No.10 missed three matches after suffering an ankle injury while on international duty, but it seemed he had overcome the problem when he returned for the visit of Charlton.
"Unfortunately he started to complain of similar symptoms again, which is why he missed the Norwich match," Hunter told www.qpr.co.uk.
"Rather than risk him for the final match of the campaign, we have decided to pull him out and make sure he recovers fully from the problem."
The news is more hopeful for Agyemang, as Hunter explained: "Pat has had a hamstring injury, but is now at the stage where he has completed his rehab work, and is feeling good.
"He will be introduced to full training with the rest of the squad this morning. Based upon how that goes, we can then determine whether he will be available for Sunday's match.
"Needless to say, we won't be taking any risks with him, but he is desperate to be involved against West Brom."
Meanwhile, defender Hall looks set to return to the Rangers backline. "Fitz missed the game at Carrow Road owing to a muscular imbalance in his pelvis," Hunter explained.
"It was a new groin injury for him, and had nothing to do with previous problems. I'm pleased to say he has responded well to treatment and will be returning to full training today.
"I am confident he will be available for selection for Sunday's match."
One man who certainly won't feature this weekend is striker Rowan Vine, who broke his leg in training a month ago. But Hunter is delighted with the progress the 25 year-old continues to make.
"Rowan's recovery is coming along very well," he said.
"We've got a review with the surgeon in two weeks' time. Until then, he just needs to crack on and continue with the same attitude he has shown to date." QPR
