Fulham forward Sheyi Ojo was admitted to hospital tonight after suffering a dislocated shoulder in his side’s 2-1 win at London rivals QPR.

The Liverpool loanee had to be stretchered off the field in the 55th minute following a challenge with QPR centre-back Joel Lynch in which Ojo fell awkwardly on his left shoulder.

Though Cottagers’ boss Slavisa Jokanovic welcomed a hard-fought win at Loftus Road but was once more left cursing his side’s luck as they lost another bright young prospect, having already seen Lucas Piazon break his leg early in the season.

“We are not lucky this start of the season. We have one player more in the hospital.

“[It’s a] dislocation of the shoulder. That’s all we know.”

An own-goal from Jake Robinson and a low drive from Stefan Johansen set Fulham on course for a victory that could have been far more comfortable had Rui Fonte not blazed an 85th minute penalty over the bar.

A Conor Washington strike set up a thrilling finale in West London as QPR chased an equaliser that, despite a string of late chances, they could not claim.

Victory moved Fulham within a point of the playoff places as they continue to recover ground following their slow start to the season. Their manager is convinced that even better form is to come when he gets his full complement of players.

Jokanovic added: “I need to change my team every week [because of injuries]. Tonight is 50 per cent of the players from last season.

“Every week we try to find some different options and use some different players.

“When we start working together all of our players will be better. I need them [to be able to] compete in training to compete in the competition. I don’t have enough for opposite sides in my training.”
