Patrick Agyemang will be fit to lead the line for QPR when they welcome Burnley to Loftus Road.
Agyemang limped out of Saturday`s 3-2 win at Southampton after being clattered by Youssef Safri, who was red-carded for the challenge.
But the striker, who took his tally to seven goals in five games with a brace against Saints, suffered only a dead leg and will be available.
Defender Fitz Hall is therefore Rangers` only injury absentee, facing up to six weeks on the sidelines with a torn groin muscle.
Damion Stewart and Akos Buzsaky were named on the bench at St Mary`s after their midweek international exertions and could return to the starting line-up.
Buzsaky came on as a substitute and collected his fifth booking of the season, meaning he will miss Saturday`s clash with Sheffield United through suspension.
Steve Jones, Alan Mahon and Clarke Carlisle are again doubtful for Burnley.
Striker Jones (knee) and midfielder Mahon (groin) recently sustained injuries in training which have forced them to miss the club's previous two games.
Defender Carlisle is still struggling with a hamstring injury which has kept him sidelined for the Clarets' last seven outings.
Clarets boss Owen Coyle could hand Ade Akinbiyi a recall after he admitted leaving the striker out of the side which drew 1-1 against Colchester on Saturday was one of the toughest decisions of his managerial career.
Coyle`s selection dilemma was softened by Akinbiyi's replacement, Andrew Cole, scoring on his full debut in the 1-1 draw.
But Akinbiyi impressed as a substitute and could now feature alongside Cole from the start at Robbie Blake`s expense.
