Charlie Austin

[Mellowhoop]

Back in full training

[uptheR's]

although probably wise not to expect too much too soon from him

[WeAreQPR12]

Great news and looks like good timing to get his fitness for the playoffs because he will be the main man for us to succeed. Any news on Phillips mellow?

[Kirill]

How long usually between start of full training and first match played?

[Mellowhoop]

Nothing on Phillips pal. Few mentioned Charlie maybe featuring against Blackburn. Ankle always going taken with more caution.

[irememberlesley]

We've actually upped our scoring rate without him would you believe...

[alleyhoops]

If I am not mistaken, Charlie been in training for a week now and it would take a month before he would be back. So that make now, that he might be back in three weeks? One can only hope!

[Nick]

Last weekend HR said he hopes Austin will be playing in about a months time.

[Mellowhoop]

Few cameos for the development squad mixed with full training and should be 2-3 weeks.

They will only rush Charlie back if they sniff out possible auto, otherwise they will keep Charlie back for the Play Offs, perhaps playing v Millwall or Barnsley, surely won't risk him before if play offs are the option.

[Mellowhoop]

That's some wise words kit. I agree with you.

Completely agree with this. If it looks like there's absolutely no chance getting in the auto's, there's no point rushing him back. Get him good and ready for the playoffs.

[Mellowhoop]

He will need games though. Cant expect him to do against decent teams straight away!

True. If we're going to rest him for the playoffs but need to get him match fit, I'd get him playing with the Eds then get him involved in the Millwall and Barnsley game.

4 weeks according to Charlie himself on yesterdays Google 'hang-out'.

Out for the season WeAre. Ankle ligaments so more serious.
