QPR MIDFIELDER Sandro is hoping to return to full training in “a couple of weeks” as he steps up his recovery from a knee injury.





The 25 year-old damaged the medial ligaments in his right knee during Rangers’ 1-0 defeat to Newcastle in November.





After more than six weeks on the sidelines, Sandro is now seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.





“I am now feeling much better,” he told www.qpr.co.uk. “I have started to do some running and fitness work, and I hope I can return to full training in a couple of weeks.





“I am doing a lot of gym work because I lost a lot of power in my leg because I could not do any work with it. Now I feel better.





“I have to work to build up my fitness because I have not played for so many weeks.





“I have started to do running outside, and in the next couple of weeks I will be working hard to build on this and then return to full training with my team-mates.”





Sandro has found it difficult to watch from the sidelines as Rangers battle to safeguard their Premier League status.





“I am doing my best to be back as soon as possible because I hate to see games where I cannot help my team-mates,” he said.





“I am working hard to be ready as soon as I can. It has been so frustrating but now is the time to push forward. We have to push forward as a team. “
