Lynch still not fit and Wszolek must wait for QPR debut

Joel Lynch remains sidelined for QPR’s game against Blackburn Rovers, while new signing Pawel Wszolek is unavailable as he is suspended.

Lynch, who has not made a league appearance since his summer move from Huddersfield, recently returned to training after an abdominal injury.

But the defender is still not fit enough to rejoin the squad so will again be absent.

Wszolek, meanwhile, must wait for his debut because of a ban carried over from his parent club Hellas Verona.

The Polish winger, a pre-deadline signing on loan with a view to a permanent move, will be eligible for Tuesday’s game against Newcastle.

Another new signing, striker Idrissa Sylla, is in contention to make his QPR debut against Rovers following his arrival from Anderlecht.

Massimo Luongo has been on international duty with Australia and his fitness will be assessed ahead of this weekend’s game.
