Traore banned for QPR

QPR defender Armand Traore is suspended for Sunday’s west London derby at Fulham following his red card against Aston Villa last weekend.

Danny Gabbidon looks certain to miss out again with a knee injury picked up in Rangers’ Barclays Premier League win over Wolves almost a fortnight ago, while the game comes soon for Jamie Mackie, who this week played in a friendly for the first time since suffering a double leg break in January.
