QPR are without Fitz Hall and have fitness worries over Matthew Connolly ahead of the home clash with Bristol City.
Hall suffered a torn groin muscle during Tuesday night's 3-1 defeat at Cardiff and could face a spell on the sidelines.
Fellow defender Connolly, meanwhile, is a major doubt after sustaining a knee injury in the same game, although he will be given as long as possible to prove his fitness.
Michael Mancienne is likely to come in for Hall, while fellow loanee Kieran Lee could start at right-back if Connolly is ruled out.
Reserve goalkeeper Jake Cole is Rangers' only other injury concern with a bruised thumb, so teenager Reece Crowther could be named on the bench again.
Dele Adebola could be set to make his City debut at Loftus Road.
The Nigerian striker joined the Robins from Championship rivals Coventry for an undisclosed fee on transfer deadline day, signing an 18-month deal.
Gary Johnson's squad will also be boosted by the return from suspension of winger Ivan Sproule.
The Northern Ireland international missed the 1-0 win over Blackpool as he served a one-match ban for the accumulation of five yellow cards this season.
Meanwhile, captain Louis Carey is expected to resume full training next week. The defender has been absent since suffering an Achilles injury just before Christmas while striker Enoch Showunmi has left to join Sheffield Wednesday on an initial month-long loan deal.
