Queens Park Rangers vs Leeds United - QPR wait on Charlie Austin and Clint Hill ahead of Leeds clash

Charlie Austin and Clint Hill face late fitness tests ahead of QPR's Sky Bet Championship clash with Leeds.

Star turn Austin missed last Friday's loss at Middlesbrough with a calf complaint but is hoping to return, as is experienced defender Hill after a knee injury.

Holland midfielder Leroy Fer serves a one-match ban as Steve Evans' men arrive at Loftus Road, while Jamie Mackie remains sidelined by a hamstring problem.

Interim head coach and former Leeds boss Neil Warnock will be back in the dugout after missing the 1-0 loss at the Riverside Stadium due to personal reasons.

Leeds' new loan signing Liam Bridcutt will go straight into Steve Evans' squad and could make his debut.

Midfielder Bridcutt arrived from Sunderland on Thursday until January, but on-loan winger Will Buckley has been recalled to the Stadium of Light.

Defender Gaetano Berardi starts a two-match ban - reduced on appeal - for his straight red card in last week's defeat to Rotherham, but captain Sol Bamba has not been ruled out despite a fractured toe that sidelined him last week.

Back-up goalkeeper Charlie Horton left the club this week to deal with a private family matter in America and with Ross Turnbull out (broken ankle), Eric Grimes and Bailey Peacock-Farrell are vying for a place on the bench.
