26-year-old QPR footballer Ilias Chair has been sentenced to a year in jail, with an additional 12 months suspended, for breaking a truck driver's skull with a rock. The incident has led to Chair being ordered to pay £13,400 in compensation to the victim. Amid the legal proceedings, QPR issued a statement regarding the situation but has not disclosed the details. Despite the sentence, Chair was included in QPR's starting lineup for their Championship clash against Rotherham, where he even assisted in the winning goal. The club's decision to allow Chair to play has sparked discussions, with an explanation yet to be provided on how he is able to participate despite his sentencing.
