Lee Cook has been given the all-clear to step-up his rehabilitation following a consultation with his surgeon this evening.

The 26-year-old midfielder underwent keyhole surgery in May and Head Physio Paul Hunter told www.qpr.co.uk that he is delighted with the results of the scan.

"It confirmed to us that the operation was a complete success, and we have now been given permission to step up his rehabilitation," he said.

"Lee is exactly in line with where I anticipated him to be at this stage.

"I would also like to stress that this is a new injury, and not linked in anyway to Lee's previous surgery."

"It is always difficult to pin-point a return date following this kind of operation but, needless to say, we will be doing everything in our power to have Lee available to the Manager as quickly as possible."

Meanwhile, Hunter revealed that injured trio Mikele Leigertwood, Akos Buzsaky and Alejandro Faurlin are making excellent progress as they all look to overcome their respective thing strains.

"We're very happy with how they're responding to treatment," he said. "They're now at the stage where they're completing functional rehab on the pitch.

"We will continue to monitor their progress closely."
