Ikeme to miss Blades tie

11 January 2010 10:49
QPR boss Paul Hart will be without Carl Ikeme for the FA Cup third round replay against Sheffield United at Loftus Road. The on-loan Wolves goalkeeper is ineligible to play in the competition due to the terms of his loan agreement, but fellow loanees Adel Taarabt and Jay Simpson are available for selection. Striker Rowan Vine, who underwent minor keyhole surgery to fix a stomach problem last week, is also unavailable for selection as the Rs look to seal a fourth round trip to Bolton. Lee Cook is set to play for the reserves later in the week as he steps up his comeback from a knee injury, but Gareth Ainsworth (calf), Martin Rowlands and Gavin Mahon (both knee) are still a long way off from their returns to first-team action.
