Joe Lumley, Toni Leistner, Joel Lynch, Darnell Furlong and Nahki Wells are among the QPR players likely to be rested for Sunday’s FA Cup game against Leeds.

Keeper Matt Ingram is standing by to replace Lumley, who suffered a facial injury during the recent draw at Aston Villa.

Leistner has been a mainstay of Rangers’ defence in the Championship, while Lynch recently returned after a knock and Furlong after a long-term knee injury.

And with Tomer Hemed on the sidelines, no chances will be taken with fellow on-loan striker Wells, who has been nursing a knock.

It means young forward Aramide Oteh is in line for a chance along with the likes of Bright Osayi-Samuel and Osman Kakay.

Defenders Grant Hall and Alex Baptiste are also in contention for a run-out, as is midfielder Ilias Chair. There could be an opportunity too for Paul Smyth.
