Millwall will again be without suspended midfielder Shane Ferguson when their fight for Championship survival continues against QPR.
Ferguson, who will serve out the three-match ban he received for picking up a red card in the FA Cup quarter-final against Brighton, has also been laid low by illness.
Lions boss Neil Harris saw his team pick up a crucial 2-0 win over play-off chasing West Brom on Saturday, which helped keep them out of the bottom three. Forward Tom Bradshaw remains unavailable as he continues to recover from a long-term knee injury.
QPR could have midfielder Massimo Luongo back in contention after the Australian missed the 4-0 defeat at leaders Norwich on Saturday through illness. Caretaker boss John Eustace made five changes for the trip to Carrow Road in his first match in charge since manager Steve McClaren was sacked.
Darnell Furlong, Geoff Cameron, Jordan Cousins, Ebere Eze and Nahki Wells all came into the side. Toni Leistner, Josh Scowen and Bright Osayi-Samuel are options should Eustace look to freshen things up again to try and end Rangers' six-match winless run.
