But QPR chairman Gianni Paladini was not so happy about Hill's immediate return because the assistant manager is still waiting for charges by the England Football Association (FA).

Hill was arrested on suspension of actual bodily harm (ABH) on a Chinese player during the two sides' intermingling melee, which left 皇冠体育app's striker Zheng Tao with a broken jaw and taken to hospital while captain Chen Tao a fractured eye socket.

The brawl was erupted after 皇冠体育app's striker Gao Lin aimed a flying kick at a QPR player during the two sides' friendly.

English media began to target on the Chinese team right after the incident as the Chinese side made an immediate and unilateral apology for the melee, giving an impression that 皇冠体育app was fully responsible for the brawl.

But later the game video showed that the QPR players provoked the Chinese players with "dirty gestures" first and Hill was caught by a Chinese photographer in the act of punching a Chinese player.
