Knee injury rules striker out of Queens Park Rangers' plans

Queens Park Rangers have announced Andrew Johnson has been ruled out for the 'majority of the season' after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury. The injury-prone striker sustained the knee problem in Saturday's draw with Chelsea and had to be substituted before half-time. Manager Mark Hughes at the weekend confirmed Johnson was set for a scan on his damaged joint and results have now confirmed the worst for QPR. A statement on the club'saccount read: "Andy Johnson suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury against Chelsea and is likely to be sidelined for the majority of the season." On-loan Manchester United defender Fabio da Silva also suffered an injury in the 0-0 stalemate with Chelsea. Hughes announced in his post-match press conference the full-back was facing a few weeks on the sidelines as a result of a pulled hamstring. Anton Ferdinand, who caused controversy before the match by snubbing a handshake with John Terry and Ashley Cole, also suffered a hamstring problem against Chelsea.
