Cardiff City v Queens Park Rangers: Preview
Cardiff striker Jay Bothroyd is unlikely to make Cardiff`s squad when they face QPR on Wednesday.
Bothroyd is struggling with a calf strain and is rated as highly unlikely to feature against the Rs.
The former Arsenal striker`s absence means Michael Chopra is likely to be partnered by Ross McCormack with on-loan Fulham striker Eddie Johnson also pushing for a start.
Keeper Dimi Konstantopoulos will keep his place despite his late error on Sunday that cost the Bluebirds victory against Wolves as Peter Enckelman is still sidelined with a long-term knee problem.
Reserve keeper Tom Heaton is also injured after pulling a thigh muscle against Arsenal in the recent FA Cup clash.
Jones could however hand Quincy Owusu-Abeyie his Bluebirds debut after he was an unused substitute in the weekend`s 2-2 draw at Molineux while skipper Stephen McPhail is still missing through injury.
Damion Stewart is likely to be recalled to the QPR defence.
The Jamaica international was rested for Saturday's visit of Ipswich, with Fitz Hall stepping into the back-line, but with Rangers slipping to a 3-1 defeat boss Paulo Sousa will be tempted into changes.
Goalkeeper Radek Cerny is still struggling with a hamstring injury so Lee Camp keeps his place in goal.
Striker Heidar Helguson came on during the second half against Ipswich following a calf injury and is pushing for a start.
Sousa must decide whether to take Gavin Mahon out of the firing line after the midfielder and stand-in skipper was barracked by his own fans following a poor display on Saturday.
Spanish midfielder Jordi Lopez is still waiting to make his debut after joining as a free agent last week and could be on the bench but captain Martin Rowlands, fellow midfielder Akos Buzsaky (both knee) and strikers Patrick Agyemang (thigh) and Rowan Vine (leg) are still out.
