The brawl erupted during a friendly on Wednesday between the London club
and China's under-21 team that saw player Zheng Tao knocked unconscious
and taken to a hospital with a fractured jaw.
"Following the incident at the training ground on Wednesday 7th February
2007 and the subsequent Police investigation of the matter, Queens Park
Rangers Football Club have suspended Assistant Manager Richard Hill from
his duties until further notice," the club said on its Web site.
China's Olympic team manager Li Xiaoguang said earlier that he would
conduct an inquiry into his team's disciplinary problems and apologised
to fans and the media. Seven members of the squad were sent home early
from the tour following the fight.
Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher abandoned the game
after the brawl, which was triggered when Shanghai Shenhua striker Gao
Lin clashed with a Rangers player. Gao said he had been provoked and
failed to control himself.
