QPR defender Fitz Hall will miss the visit of his former club Crystal Palace to Loftus Road in the Championship on Tuesday night.

The big centre-half suffered a groin tear in training last week.

But fellow Palace old-boys Ben Watson - who made his Rangers debut against Peterborough on Saturday - Mikele Leigertwood, Wayne Routledge and Gary Borrowdale should all line up against their former employers.

Striker Heidar Helguson missed the 1-1 draw at the weekend with a knee problem and will be checked over while Kaspars Gorkss could return in defence.

Skipper Martin Rowlands will push for a start after returning as a substitute against Posh following an ankle injury.

Lee Cook (knee), Gareth Ainsworth (hamstring) and Angelo Balanta (groin) are still out.

The match kicks off at 8pm.
