QPR will be without striker Idrissa Sylla and winger Yeni Ngbakoto for Saturday’s trip to Sheffield Wednesday.

Sylla picked up a knock to the head in Tuesday’s 1-0 win EFL Cup win against Northampton Town, while Ngbakoto – scorer of the winning goal – is sidelined with an ankle problem picked up in training.

Three other Rangers players have also been ruled out – midfielder Jordan Cousins (hamstring) and centre-back Grant Hall (knee tendonitis) remain injured, while Steven Caulker is still short of match fitness, despite 90 minutes against the Cobblers.

Striker Matt Smith, who required six stitches to a face wound in midweek, is fit for the trip to Hillsborough.

Kazenga LuaLua, who has re-signed on loan from Brighton, will be included in the travelling party.

Wednesday are expected to be without right-back Liam Palmer (Achilles) and midfielder Kieran Lee (hip).
