QPR News
Chris Barker has used QPR's 10-day break to recover from his hernia operation and could start.
The defender missed Rangers' 2-0 win against Barnsley but has returned from treatment in Germany and will compete with his replacement Damien Delaney to start at right-back.
Goalkeeper Jake Cole is boss Luigi De Canio's only absentee with a bruised thumb.
Gavin Mahon returns from illness and Adam Bolder is back after missing the Barnsley game for personal reasons.
Damion Stewart is fine despite being stretchered off with a knock to the pelvis.
Michael Mancienne may drop out of the squad in order to get another reserve game under his belt and strikers Stefan Moore and Marc Nygaard will both be absent after leaving Loftus Road in the last week.
Cardiff News
Cardiff manager Dave Jones has fitness doubts over a number of his players for Tuesday's visit of QPR to Ninian Park.
Full-back Kevin McNaughton suffered a dead leg in Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round victory at Hereford, while Roger Johnson is also struggling with a leg injury.
Midfielder Stephen McPhail took a knock to his hip against the Bulls and centre-back Glenn Loovens was playing with a neck problem at Edgar Street.
Jones could call on club captain Darren Purse should any of his defenders fail to recover in time for what will be the Bluebirds' second game in three days.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink will hope for a recall to the starting line-up after Steven Thompson was given the nod for the weekend tie.
Robbie Fowler (hip) definitely misses out while long-term absentees Trevor Sinclair and Riccardo Scimeca are closing on a return but are not expected to feature against the Hoops.
Come on you Rs!!!!!
