Stephan gives latest injury updates on QPR trio ahead of West Ham clash

QPR manager Julien Stephan has provided an update on the injury status of three of his players ahead of their upcoming match against West Ham. The good news is that midfielder Justin Obikwu has returned to training, marking his first activity in two weeks. However, Stephan is keen to observe how Obikwu's progress unfolds over the coming days.

"He was not available in the last two weeks," Stephan revealed to West London Sport. "He started training again for the first time today, so let's see how the situation evolves, but he was not available the last two weeks."

On the other hand, striker Richard Kone has also shown promise in his recovery from injury. Stephan confirmed that Kone participated in his first full team session after being sidelined. "He did his first collective session with us this morning, so it's really positive," Stephan told LoftForWords. "He needs more sessions and a little bit more time to be at 100%, but the positive side is he has restarted collectively with us without pain."

The third player, Rumarn Burrell, continues to be sidelined, with Stephan estimating his recovery to take another couple of weeks. "It's a question of probably a couple of weeks," Stephan said. "I don't know exactly. It depends on the ability to recover quickly or not, but it's not a bad one."
