Warnock to rest first-team players

QPR manager Neil Warnock is likely to rest a number of his first-team players for tomorrow’s Carling Cup second round clash against Rochdale.

DJ Campbell, Adel Taarabt, Jay Bothroyd and Matthew Connolly were all struggling with a virus prior to Rangers’ 1-0 win over Everton on Saturday and are likely to be rested for tomorrow’s game against their League One opponents at Loftus Road.

Striker Bruno Perone could make his debut, but Clint Hill (suspension), Jamie Mackie (broken leg) and Rob Hulse (knee) are unavailable.

Provisional squad: Kenny, Murphy, Orr, Derry, Hall, Gabbidon, Taarabt, Campbell, Bothroyd, Faurlin, Gorkss, Buzsaky, Connolly, Smith, Helguson, Moen, Agyemang, Shittu, Ephraim, Perone.
