Hall out of Magpies test

29 September 2009 10:02
Fitz Hall will be missing from the QPR squad which travels to Newcastle. The centre-half is back in training having missed the last four games with a groin injury but will not be risked at St James' Park. Fellow defender Matt Connolly could return after a virus but veteran midfielder Gareth Ainsworth (hamstring) and young striker Angelo Balanta (groin) are still on the sidelines. Winger Lee Cook is beginning light running as he continues his recovery from knee surgery in May. Manager Jim Magilton is unlikely to make too many changes to his side after back-to-back wins against Cardiff and Barnsley made it five matches unbeaten in the Championship. Midfielder Mikele Leigertwood is set to continue at right-back ahead of former Magpie Peter Ramage.
