Blackburn boss Mark
Hughes is expected to shuffle his side for Saturday's FA Cup third round
clashs. Striker Craig Bellamy is not to be risked after hamstring
problems while Andy Todd is also a major doubt following the knee injury
he suffered on Boxing Day. Steven Reid sits out a one-match suspension
while Michael Gray returns to the Rovers squad after illness.
QPR hope to have Matthew Rose and Marc Nygaard available for the match
at Ewood Park. Defender Rose, 30, and striker Nygaard, 29, sustained
side and calf injuries respectively in the 1-1 draw with Burnley on
January 2. Marc Bircham is doubtful after suffering a recurrence of a
hamstring problem that kept him out of the Burnley fixture, while
forward Kevin Gallen (hamstring), midfielders Steve Lomas (hamstring)
and Tommy Doherty (fibula) and defender Dominic Shimmin (calf) are all
unavailable.
Probable lineups:
Blackburn: Friedel, Neill, Khizanishvili, Nelsen, Matteo,
Bentley, Tugay, Savage, Pedersen, Dickov, Kuqi, Enckelman, Emerton,
Bellamy, Thompson, Gray, Peter, Johnson, Gresko, Taylor.
