R’S FRONT-MAN Bobby Zamora has had surgery on his right knee and is likely to be sidelined for a prolonged period.





The 32 year-old striker was substituted at half-time in our 1-0 win against Birmingham City on Saturday and has since gone under the knife.





Harry Redknapp told www.qpr.co.uk: "Bobby has had surgery.





"We're all desperately sorry for him but it looks like he'll be out until Christmas."





Fellow striker Andy Johnson is also set for a spell on the sidelines, with a mild knee strain likely to keep him out of action for the next few weeks.





Redknapp added: "We'll need to go into the loan market for a striker.





"I've got a shortlist and we'll be working on it before the weekend."





Goalkeeper Julio Cesar joins the duo in the treatment room, with the Brazilian shot-stopper expected to be ruled out for 6-8 weeks.





The former Inter Milan keeper broke a finger in his left hand at training yesterday (Tuesday) and has undergone surgery.





Nedum Onuoha's hamstring injury, sustained in tonight's 0-0 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion, will be assessed over the coming days.





Meanwhile, Esteban Granero – currently on loan at Real Sociedad – suffered an Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury on his right knee last night and is likely to miss the remainder of the season with the Spanish club.
