Kevin Doyle has been added to the QPR squad to face Leicester on Saturday.
The on-loan Wolves striker has recovered from a knee injury, trained all week, and boss Harry Redknapp has pencilled him in his Easter ‘juggling act’ – as he calls it.
“We’ve got two games in quick succession, and we might need to change things,” he explained.
Whether or not the manager holds good his promise to give defender Richard Dunne a rest against the Foxes depends on the progress of Clint Hill.
The latter has been out with a knee and ankle knock, but is also included as a likely contender for the visit to the Championship leaders.
Joey Barton will have to avoid three more bookings that could see him out of the play-offs, but his manager insists he has to give the midfielder games.
“There’s no reason why he should pick up bookings,” Harry offered, “and he needs games to keep fit.”
Jermaine Jenas is definitely ruled out with an ongoing calf injury, but apart from long-term injuries to Ale Faurlin and Matt Phillips, Rangers should have the rarity of a full squad after both Andy Johnson and Shaun Wright-Phillips played for the U21s midweek.
