JACK Robinson has been ruled out for up to a year after sustaining a knee injury in the final minute of Huddersfield Town’s Championship fixture at Birmingham on Saturday.





The 21 year-old had an initial scan on Monday before seeing a specialist on Thursday morning which confirmed he has sustained a chondral defect to his right knee, which is an injury to the cartilage.

QPR Head of Medical Services Dr Peter Florida confirmed to www.qpr.co.uk: “Jack has damaged the cartilage that lies over the bottom of the thigh bone. It has actually come away from the bone, and has to be sewn back into place.





“At this stage, he is likely to be out for between nine and 12 months.”





Robinson joined QPR at the start of the campaign from Liverpool before immediately penning a season-long loan at the John Smith’s Stadium.





The defender has now returned to QPR after making 31 appearances in all competitions for the Championship side.





He is set to undergo surgery this week.
