Cardiff set to recall several players for QPR clash

Cardiff will recall key players for Sunday's Sky Bet Championship clash with QPR.

David Marshall, Lee Peltier, Peter Whittingham, Anthony Pilkington and Lex Immers were all rested for the EFL Cup defeat at Bristol Rovers on Thursday night.

Midfielder Stuart O'Keefe is a doubt after suffering an arm injury at Bristol Rovers.

Frederic Gounongbe and Kenneth Zohore will contest the main striker's berth as Cardiff seek to open their scoring account under new manager Paul Trollope.

QPR have an injury concern over defender Joel Lynch.

The summer signing from Huddersfield suffered an abdominal strain on his debut in the midweek EFL Cup clash with Swindon.

Boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink can recall the likes of Steven Caulker, Jake Bidwell, Tjaronn Chery and Sebastian Polter to his starting line-up after resting them against the Robins, while Alex Smithies will return in goal despite deputy Matt Ingram saving two penalties in Rangers' shoot-out win.

Polish midfielder Ariel Borysiuk (ankle), defender Jack Robinson (shin splints) and winger Jamie Mackie (ankle) are still in the treatment room.
