Rowlands in race to face Preston
QPR are confident Martin Rowlands will be back to face Preston after the midfielder sustained an injury in the 2-0 win over Southend.
Rowlands was taken off during last weekend's win complaining of a groin injury and Rangers have said they will give him until the last minute to recover.
Manager Gary Waddock also hopes to receive international clearance in time to have summer signing Egutu Oliseh available for the match at Deepdale.
Defender Dominic Shimmin could be in the squad after completing a three-match ban, but forward Marc Nygaard (back) and goalkeeper Simon Royce (groin) are still out.
Rangers were impressive in beating Southend, but Waddock warned: \"We are only three games into a season. We have achieved nothing yet - and won't until at least the end of the campaign.
\"Preston have been there or thereabouts for the last two seasons, so it is a tough game, but it is one we are looking forward to.\"
