Hughes short of attacking options

Manager Mark Hughes has selection problems in attack ahead of QPR’s trip to West Brom as they look to put their Barclays Premier League away-day blues behind them.

Jamie Mackie, who scored in his side’s 3-0 win over Swansea in midweek, and fellow frontman Bobby Zamora have both picked up knocks, leaving Hughes light up front should the duo be declared unfit.

Djibril Cisse is also out, serving the final game of his four-match ban, but Shaun Derry will return in midfield having served his one-match suspension.

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