Faurlin ruling set for early May

Charges brought against Queen's Park Rangers over the signing of Alejandro Faurlin will be heard by an independent regulatory commission beginning on 3 May.

The Championship leaders were last month charged with seven breaches of Football Association rules regarding third-party ownership and payments to an unauthorised agent in relation to the signing of the Argentine.

A decision is due on 6 May – one day before the final round of Championship fixtures.
