Hoops v Swansea City
Rowan Vine is in line to make his long-awaited comeback from a broken leg when QPR take on Swansea at Loftus Road. The former Birmingham striker has been out since suffering the horrific injury in a training-ground collision last April, but he is now fully recovered and has been added to Paulo Sousa's squad to face the Swans. Fellow forwards Heidar Helguson (groin) and Samuel Di Carmine (foot) are also back in full training and available after missing Saturday's goalless draw at Southampton. Full-back Damien Delaney is pushing for a return after a foot injury but winger Lee Cook is still missing with a knee problem. Captain Martin Rowlands and fellow midfielder Akos Buzsaky (both knee) are out for the season and striker Patrick Agyemang (thigh) remains sidelined. Alan Tate will miss out for Swansea due to an ankle injury. The defender limped off with ligament damage during the half-time interval of Saturday's 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace before going to hospital and manager Roberto Martinez expects him to be sidelined for five to eight weeks. Matthew Collins and Fede Bessone are set to battle it out for the starting left-back role. Captain Garry Monk looks set to return to the starting line-up after recovering from the back injury that has seen him miss the last four matches. Midfielder Mark Gower will again be included after making a successful return from a back injury against Palace as the Swans look to bounce back from only their second league defeat in 20 games.
