QPR pair Joe Lumley and Darnell Furlong will both be assessed before Sunday's home FA Cup tie against Leeds.

Goalkeeper Lumley took a knock to the face in the New Year's Day draw at Aston Villa and defender Furlong is feeling the effects of four games in 10 days.

Boss Steve McClaren will also monitor defenders Toni Leistner and Joel Lynch (groin), plus striker Nahki Wells, who has been nursing a dead leg. Massimo Luongo is on international duty with Australia, while Geoff Cameron (ankle), Angel Rangel (thigh) and Tomer Hemed (groin) are all still out.
