Cisse begins QPR suspension

QPR striker Djibril Cisse will begin his four-match ban when Arsenal visit Loftus Road tomorrow.

The France international was sent off at former club Sunderland last weekend and is joined on the sidelines by Armand Traore, who is a week away from returning from a hamstring injury.

Long-term absentees DJ Campbell (hamstring) and Heidar Helguson (knee) are making good progress, but are not yet ready for a first-team return.

Provisional squad: Kenny, Cerny, Murphy, Young, Gabbidon, Onuoha, Ferdinand, Taiwo, Hall, Hill, Derry, Diakite, Barton, Buzsaky, Taarabt, Smith, Mackie, Wright-Phillips, Hulse, Bothroyd, Zamora.
