Sam McCallum could make his first appearance since October when QPR host Hull.
The Norwich loanee has been a long-term absentee due to hamstring trouble but stepped up his return with a recent outing for the Under-23s.
McCallum’s availability would ease the blow of losing Lee Wallace to injury.
Wallace sustained a groin issue in the 2-0 defeat at Millwall and is expected to be out of action this weekend.
Defender Lewie Coyle will miss Hull’s trip to London after suffering a hamstring problem.
Callum Elder should fill in at right-back in Coyle’s absence.
Goalkeeper Nathan Baxter will miss out with a hand injury.
Iran striker Allahyar Sayyadmanesh is also expected to be sidelined due to an unspecified injury concern.
