QPR

Youngsters standing by for QPR cup tie

Toni Leistner looks unlikely to be available for QPR’s FA Cup tie against Swansea.

Rangers played the final 12 minutes of the recent 6-1 victory over Cardiff with 10 men after Leistner limped off – with boss Mark Warburton having already made three substitutions.

The German centre-back is nursing a calf problem and by Saturday it was looking increasingly likely that he will miss out against the Swans.

Fellow defender Yoann Barbet has a calf injury of his own and remains sidelined.

Warburton is therefore considering giving a senior debut to Conor Masterton.

Irish youngster Masterson, 21, was signed last summer after being released by Liverpool.

He has been lined up for loan move in order for him to pick up first-team experience during the second half of the season, but could first make his Rangers bow.

Several other youngsters are in contention to play in third-round tie.
