QPR manager Neil Critchley was asked about the former Livingston man's condition after the defeat to Hull, and appeared positive about the situation.

Critchley said: "He's ok.

"He's been in hospital the last 24, 48 hours.

"He's on medication so hopefully we get some good news in the next 24 hours."

Dykes has been a key man for QPR since making the switch from the Scottish Premiership in August 2020.

He's made 29 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring six goals.

There was a major blow involving another Scots striker this weekend.

Ross Stewart, who's been in fine form for Sunderland, went off during their FA Cup draw with Premier League side Fulham yesterday.

It's a suspected Achilles injury and one that looks set to keep 26-year old for the rest of the season.

The former Ross County hitman was stretchered-off just 20 minutes into the 1-1 draw at Craven Cottage.

Speaking after the game, Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray said: "First thoughts is it's pretty bad. If it's an Achilles – we've discussed whether it's ruptured, but it's a bad injury.
