Holloway plans to recall QPR defender Baptiste

Ian Holloway plans to recall Alex Baptiste for QPR’s game against Sheffield Wednesday.

Nedum Onuoha is suspended after being sent off in Saturday’s 4-0 defeat at Hull, where Joel Lynch went off injured after 15 minutes.

Jack Robinson, who recently recovered from a toe injury, came on to replace Lynch and is expected to start against Wednesday.

And Onuoha’s absence means experienced defender Baptiste is in line for his first appearance in almost two months.

Rangers boss Holloway said: “It gives someone else a chance. ‘Baps’ will have to be ready and hopefully Robbo’s still alright – he came on and did well.”

Bright Osayi-Samuel, who came on as a substitute against Hull, is in contention to start.

Matt Smith missed the Hull game because of illness and will be assessed ahead of Tuesday’s match.
