Balogun has not been on a soccer discipline since showing for 45 minutes in QPR’s 1-2 residence defeat to Huddersfield on November 8.

QPR head coach Neil Critchley reportedly stated the Nigerian defender remains to be “a number of weeks” from returning to motion which places his estimated restoration date previous March.
