QPR vs Hull City team news - 6 outs and 5 doubts as R's dealt fresh £1m blow

An unbeaten run of five games came to an end for QPR last weekend as Blackburn Rovers cruised to a 2-0 victory over the London outfit at Ewood Park.

The R's weren't helped by a red card for Jonathan Varane in that game as the side sunk to 17th in the second tier, now winless in their last three outings. Next up for Marti Cifuentes is the visit of Hull City to Loftus Road on Tuesday night, with the Tigers buoyed by a 4-1 win over Cardiff City on Saturday.

Here's your QPR vs Hull City team news.

QPR team news

QPR will be without midfielder Jonathan Varane against Hull City after the reported £1 million summer signing from Sporting Gijon was sent off against Blackburn Rovers just before half-time. Marti Cifuentes labelled that moment as a 'game-changer' with the scores level at that time.

The Catalan coach still has several injury concerns for midweek action. Centre-back Liam Morrison, who also arrived at Loftus Road this summer, is set to miss out. The defender missed out on the recent international break for Scotland due to a knee problem and is expected to need at least another month to recover.

Jack Colback continues to be absent due to a knock. His return had been expected against Millwall and then Blackburn Rovers, so he is in contention to come back against Hull City. Rayan Kolli is also being eased back following Algeria under-20 duty.

The influential Ilias Chair continues to be a huge miss for QPR. The Moroccan was pictured back in training last week, alongside defender Morgan Fox, as he nears his first minutes of the season following a pre-season back injury.

Speaking about the duo last week, Cifuentes said: “It’s given everyone a boost – firstly because they’re important players for us, secondly because they have big personalities. Ilias always affects the team with his positivity and Morgan is such a fantastic professional with high standards and demands.

“It’s given everyone that bit more energy – it has been great to see them back involved with the team. We will take a decision as to whether they are match-ready – but I’m optimistic about seeing them back involved soon.”

Hull City team news

Hull City could have a fresh injury concern after the weekend in Mohamed Belloumi. The 22-year-old bagged a brace against Cardiff City, his first goals for the side since signing this summer, but had to be withdrawn before the hour mark with an ankle problem.

When asked if Belloumi could be a doubt for the trip to Loftus Road, Tim Walter said: "He was injured a bit, so he needed to come off.He got a hit on the ankle after scoring the goal.

"Could be [a doubt] We have a lot of players in our squad so everybody can step in. It's not about one player, it's about our squad. It's about our team, no one player can win a game. We've been winning games together and especially with our fans."

Elsewhere, Harvey Cartwright continues to recover from a hand injury and Ryan Longman is on the long road back from an operation on a dislocated shoulder. Andy Smith and Thimothee Lo-Tutala are also set to miss out.
