Mark Hughes misses Queen Park Rangers training

Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes did not take charge of his side's training session today as speculation over his future at the club increased this afternoon.

Instead, the Welshmen held a two-hour meeting with chief executive Philip Beard, according to Sky Sports News.

The content of those discussions is not known, although it is believed that the team's recent performances were high up on the agenda.

The R's are currently bottom of the Premier League table and are without a victory so far this season.

As a result, reports have claimed that Hughes could lose his job by the end of this week.
