QPR manager Mick Beale says Ethan Laird's hamstring injury isn't serious.

Beale does not believe Ethan Laird's hamstring issue is serious after the defender was withdrawn in the first half of their Championship game against Reading.

The decision was made to replace the 21-year-old Manchester United loanee after he felt tightness in the muscle. Having been a prominent player for QPR since his switch, Beale decided to err on the side of caution.

“He was close to me and said he was feeling a bit of tightness, so obviously I'm not going to mess around with that," he told West London Sport. "I don't think it's anything more than that at the moment.

“He hasn't pulled anything. We'll have to assess it, obviously, in the coming days. But when he came off he just said to me: 'Mick, it feels a bit tight' and obviously after the schedule we've had it wasn't worth the risk."
