QPR v Swindon preview: Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to ring EFL Cup changes
Wednesday 10 August 2016 23:22, UK
QPR manager Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is expected to shuffle his pack for the visit of Swindon in the EFL Cup, meaning a possible debut for newly-signed forward Yeni Ngbakoto.
The 24-year-old former France Under-18 international joined from Metz on a three-year deal in the lead-up to Sunday's 3-0 Sky Bet Championship defeat of Leeds at Loftus Road.
New signings Joel Lynch and Jordan Cousins could make their first competitive starts. Centre-half Lynch was an unused substitute at the weekend while midfielder Cousins came off the bench in the second half.
Polish midfielder Ariel Borysiuk (ankle), defender Jack Robinson (shin splints) and veteran forward Jamie Mackie (ankle) are expected still to be sidelined by injury.
Striker Luke Norris could make his Swindon debut after signing for the Robins from Gillingham on Saturday.
Defender Lloyd Jones, who has joined from Liverpool on a season-long loan deal, could also feature. Neither played on Saturday when Swindon won 1-0 at home to Coventry.
Raphael Branco is again set to be missing with an on-going groin problem.
The Brazilain defender, who made 40 appearances for Town last season, suffered the setback in a pre-season friendly having missed the final game of the last campaign to have an operation.
