BLACKSTOCK IN LINE TO FACE OWLS
Dexter Blackstock could make a welcome return to the QPR squad for Saturday's home clash with Sheffield Wednesday.
Last season's top scorer has been sidelined for seven weeks after undergoing knee surgery, but he played 45 minutes for the reserves in midweek and is available to face the Owls.
Centre-half Bob Malcolm should make his Rangers debut after joining on loan from Derby.
Striker Marc Nygaard has resumed full training having recovered from the hamstring injury which kept him out of the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace last time out.
Defender Pat Kanyuka needs to build up his match fitness following seven months out with a thigh injury, and midfielder Simon Walton is still recovering from his broken leg.
Akos Buzsaky, Ben Sahar and Damion Stewart will all be checked over following international duty, while young striker Shabazz Baidoo has moved to League One Gillingham on loan.
Wednesday boss Brian Laws may have to do without Glenn Whelan for trip to Loftus Road because the midfielder is struggling with a hip injury.
Whelan was forced out of the Republic of Ireland B's clash with Scotland on Tuesday following a heavy collision and could face a late fitness test so Yoann Folly is on stand-by.
Central defender Mark Beevers has shaken off his own hip injury, sustained in a recent reserve-team match, and will be included in the squad and Jermaine Johnson has returned home from international duty with Jamaica unscathed.
Laws has no other injury or suspension worries and is unlikely to make too many changes following his side's 5-0 thrashing of Southampton before the international break.
Akpo Sodje should retain his place up front alongside Marcus Tudgay after firing a brace against the Saints, although Deon Burton is vying for a start.
