Charlie Austin, Richard Dunne suffer serious injuries?

Queens Park Rangers could be without Charlie Austin and Richard Dunne for the Premier League run-in after both left Loftus Road on crutches this afternoon.

They key duo were casualties of a stoppage-time defeat to Southampton which kept the managerless Hoops in the relegation zone.

GetWestLondon reports that 13-goal striker Austin, who is responsible for over half of QPR's league goals this season, has broken a bone in his right foot.

Dunne's injury is believed to be even more serious and QPR fear that the experienced defender may have suffered cruciate knee ligament damage in a challenge with match-winner Sadio Mane.

Rangers are expected to release a statement on Sunday to confirm the extent of the injuries.
