Jack Robinson has made just one appearances for Queens Park Rangers to date.

Queens Park Rangers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has told Get West London that Jack Robinson has impressed him in training.

QPR have a problem at left-back, with both Robinson and Jake Bidwell on the treatment table.

It leaves them without a senior left-back in their squad, but Hasselbaink believes that Robinson’s return is not too far away.

“Jake is better than we thought,” Hasselbaink revealed. “He’s had the operation. It will take a little bit of time but he’ll be back before Christmas if everything goes well.

“Jack was on the field with us for the first time and he looks very good. He’s looking good but he needs a bit more time. He’ll be back before Jake Bidwell.”

Bidwell is likely to be out until December, but Robinson could return in the near future.

The former Liverpool man has suffered badly with injuries ever since moving to Loftus Road, and his R’s career is yet to get started.

Robinson moved to QPR back in 2014, but he still has only made one appearance for the London club to date.

In Robinson’s and Bidwell’s absences, James Perch looks most likely to fill in on the left hand side of defence.

QPR are next in action at the weekend, when they face Reading.
