QPR midfielder Faurlin hopes injury woes now over

QPR midfielder Alejandro Faurlin says his injury woes have made him stronger.

Faurlin is determined not to dwell on the past.

"It was a horrible feeling," he told the London Evening Standard. "I want to be out there on the pitch and I never had injuries to my knees before. I hate to be out. I feel stronger than ever now. This kind of injury makes you realise the reality of things and makes you stronger in so many different ways. I've never been a sad player who needs confidence.

"I feel confident in myself and feel strong always, but now more than ever. I just look forward and am really excited about the season.

"We are in 2014 and many players get these injuries and it's a big injury but if you do the right things and work really hard you can have the rewards. Now you see me out there running like a boy. It feels nice to be back."
