Queens Park Rangers midfielder Geoff Cameron impressed on his full debut last night.

Steve McClaren is unveiled as new manager of Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road on May 21, 2018 in London, England.

Queens Park Rangers boss Steve McClaren has told Football London that he doesn’t think Geoff Cameron will be fit enough to play at the weekend.

Cameron made his full QPR debut last night against Millwall, and put in an impressive performance in the heart of their midfield.

The American was rock solid throughout, but his lack of match sharpness showed at the end of the game.

Cameron was exhausted at full-time, and McClaren admits that the QPR loan signing could miss out at the weekend when his side take on Norwich City.

“I think it was important that we played Geoff Cameron. He’s not had a game, he’s not played, I don’t think he’ll be fit for Saturday the way he crawled off but we needed him tonight in front of the excellent two centre-backs,” McClaren said.

“I just hope we recover and we’ll have to go again on Saturday.”

US national football team defender Geoff Cameron takes part in a training session ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Mexico at Azteca stadium in Mexico City on June 10, 2017.

McClaren’s decision to bring in Cameron to replace Tomer Hemed in QPR’s starting line-up initially raised eye-brows, but it worked out well.

QPR looked solid at the back, but maintained an attacking threat throughout the contest.

Rangers have now won four of their last five matches to recover from what was an inauspicious start to the season.
