Spurs fans are hoping this substitution is a precautionary measure.

Bergvall was replaced by compatriot Dejan Kulusevski but the Spurs boss eased fans' fears that the former could be out for a long time.

“It's just a little bit of pain, I don't think it's anything significant,” Postecoglou said of Bergvall's injury after the match.

Bergvall has agreed a five-year contract to join Spurs from Swedish club Djurgardens in February for a reported fee of £8.5million, officially joining the north Londoners on July 1.

He impressed Spurs fans on his debut for the club, which saw them beat Scottish Premier League club Hearts 5-1 on Wednesday night.

Postecoglou's side took the lead against QPR in the 41st minute thanks to a stunning goal from Yves Bissouma.

And academy star Dane Scarlett wrapped up the win in the 87th minute in west London with a left-footed finish from close range.

Spurs will now travel to the Far East and their next pre-season game is against Japanese side Vissel Kobe next Saturday.
