QPR have pledged to ''play our hearts out'' for teenage striker Ray Jones, who was killed in a car accident on Saturday morning.

The death of Jones, who was 18, saw Rangers' game at Burnley postponed.

In a statement on behalf of the club, Rangers captain Adam Bolder said: ''We are all deeply shocked and saddened by the news regarding the untimely death of Ray Jones.

"Ray was one of us. A footballer with a passion to succeed for himself and for QPR.

''It goes without saying that Ray was the most gifted player at the club. He had fantastic raw ability, and was destined for a very bright future, both at club and international level.

"He was a great character, a very popular figure in the dressing room, and he will be sadly missed.

''Words can't really express how we all feel at the moment, but our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this sad time. It is a tragedy that we are all struggling to come to terms with, but we will pick ourselves up and play our hearts out for Ray.

''Every kick, every shot, every tackle will be for him. He was one of us, and will never be forgotten. May he rest in peace.''

Sevilla may have started their Primera Liga campaign with a convincing win, but the health of stricken wing-back Antonio Puerta is the only thing the Andalusian club are concerned about at present.

Puerta was taken to hospital after collapsing midway through the first half of Saturday's match against Getafe.

The Spain international was able to walk from the pitch after being attended by medical staff, who prevented him swallowing his tongue, but then collapsed again in the changing rooms and was given cardiac resuscitation before being taken to hospital.

The first medical statement released by the Hospital Virgen del Rocio said the 22-year-old's condition was ''very serious''.

Sevilla midfielder Renato Dirnei said: ''We were very frightened, but the doctors knew what they were doing. It was difficult to continue playing.''
