QPR hoping to have goalkeeper Rob Green fit for Rotherham trip

Rotherham boss Neil Redfearn will be tempted to choose from an unchanged squad for the visit of QPR.

The Millers boosted their survival hopes with a 2-0 midweek win against Brighton and Redfearn will have been be relieved to report no new injuries.

But defender Stephen Kelly (calf/knee), midfielders Lee Frecklington, Farrend Rawson (both hamstring), plus striker Leon Best (groin) remain sidelined and Lewis Buxton's return to contention is still subject to contractual issues.

Rotherham, three points clear of the relegation zone, are bidding for a fourth straight home league win.

Rangers are hopeful goalkeeper Rob Green will shake off illness in time to travel.

Green has missed the last two matches and, with back-up Alex Smithies out with an elbow injury, 20-year-old Joe Lumley has been deputising.

Boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is still searching for his first win since taking over six weeks ago, but has so far resisted the temptation to bring Charlie Austin back.

Striker Austin has returned to training following a hamstring injury but Hasselbaink does not want to risk him breaking down again.
