Queens Park Rangers vs Bolton Wanderers - Charlie Austin and Jamie Mackie miss QPR's clash with Bolton

Posted Friday, October 02, 2015 by PA

QPR will be without key men Charlie Austin and Jamie Mackie when they host Bolton.

Both players suffered hamstring injuries during the miserable 4-0 defeat at west London rivals Fulham on Friday.

Striker Austin is expected to be out for around four weeks while winger Mackie suffered a tear which could sideline him for up to three months.

Armand Traore is absent with a calf problem and Junior Hoilett has been receiving treatment on a hip injury, but Sandro could make his comeback following a long-standing visa issue.

Defenders Dorian Dervite and Derik Osede return to contention for Bolton.

Dervite has missed the last four games through suspension and then an ankle problem while Osede sat out the 2-2 draw with Brighton following his dismissal against Huddersfield.

David Wheater and Max Clayton returned against the Seagulls after Achilles and knee injuries respectively and should once again be available, as could veteran striker Emile Heskey.

The former England international was withdrawn in the early stages of the loss to Huddersfield with a calf injury and was absent last Saturday.
