Queens Park Rangers first-team coach Joe Jordan has insisted that he is happy with how the players are progressing during pre-season.

The R's were beaten for the second time in four matches on Saturday as they went down 2-1 to Udinese in Austria.

"The important thing at this moment in time is to get the players fit, sharp and progressing as we approach the start of the season," Jordan told the club's official website. "Things are improving all the time – we're progressing every day."

QPR return to action on Friday when they play Southend United.
