QPR v Atalanta: Austin sits out friendly
Neither Charlie Austin nor Leroy Fer have been included in QPR’s matchday squad for their pre-season friendly against Italian side Atalanta at Loftus Road.
Austin, who has been linked with the likes of Newcastle, and Fer, who is reportedly a target for Sunderland, have both been carrying minor injuries. Rangers say neither player is fit enough to feature in Sunday’s game.
Tjaronn Chery and James Perch start for the R’s, as do fellow new signings Ben Gladwin, Massimo Luongo and Sebastian Polter.
Trialist Grant Hall is among the Rangers substitutes, as is Oscar Gobern.
Midfielder Gobern has featured in previous pre-season friendlies, while Tottenham centre-back Hall has also joined QPR on trial.
QPR: Green, Onuoha, Hill, Phillips, Chery, Gladwin, Polter, Faurlin, Luongo, Perch, Kpekawa.
Subs: Lumley, Diakite, Hall, Grego-Cox, Comley, Blackwood, Doughty, Gobern, Emmanuel-Thomas, Henry, Furlong, Hoilett.

Ve supported newcastle since 1947 and although buying strikers is great but not top priority as it has been for the last 10 years central defence is more important with Williamson Taylor not up to the task in the premier league so another two central defenders is a must if we want to move on and have cover for any injuries we will insure
So please address this ASAP.
