Steve McClaren may opt for an unchanged QPR line-up at home to Millwall, live on Sky Sports Football from 7pm on Wednesday, after Saturday's win at Bolton made it seven points from nine.
However, midfielder Josh Scowen is making good progress in his recovery from a knee injury and could yet be involved. Darnell Furlong and Sean Goss remain sidelined with knee and back issues respectively.
Olamide Shodipo has been ruled out for four months following surgery on a thigh problem, while Grant Hall is being closely monitored as he edges closer to a return from a long-term knee injury.
Millwall boss Neil Harris has no fresh injury or suspension concerns for the short trip. Striker Tom Bradshaw is pushing for a starting spot after coming on with 20 minutes remaining of Saturday's 1-1 draw at home to Leeds.
Deadline-day signing Ryan Leonard was one of two changes to Harris' starting line-up against the Whites, with Conor McLaughlin also coming in, and the pair will hope to keep their starting spots. Shaun Hutchinson is expected to remain sidelined due to a knee injury.
Eight of the last 12 league meetings between QPR and Millwall have been draws - both sides have two wins apiece in the other four matches.
Millwall haven't won an away league match at QPR since February 1989, winning 2-1 in the top-flight.
QPR have won each of their previous two meetings with Millwall held on a Wednesday, with both victories coming in the League Cup in September 1987 and October 1993.
Queens Park Rangers have only failed to score in one of their last 12 home league matches (21 goals scored), a 0-3 defeat to Bristol City earlier this season.
Millwall have lost three of their last four league games away from home (D1), as many defeats as in the previous 14 such matches combined.
QPR striker Nahki Wells has scored three goals in three league games against Millwall, with all three strikes coming for previous club Huddersfield.
Slowly but surely QPR are starting to improve under Steve McClaren and have now picked up a few decent points and even won on the road at the weekend!
Millwall threw away more late points against Leeds and are struggling in the bottom half of the table at the minute. This will be a close game but I have to go with QPR.
David Prutton predicts: 2-1 (9/1 with Sky Bet)
