QPR defender Grant Hall remains a doubt for Saturday’s game against West Brom.
Hall missed the win at Millwall and by Friday morning it looked increasingly unlikely that he will return to the squad for this weekend’s match.
But Bright Osayi-Samuel and Lee Wallace have been passed fit.
Wallace is expected to be included in the squad for the first time this season.
The left-back, who played under R’s boss Mark Warburton at Glasgow Rangers, has been struggling with a hip problem since his arrival during the summer.
Osayi-Samuel, meanwhile, has recovered from a minor injury.
Both players featured in an Under-23 game this week.

Historic meeting
QPR 3-2 West Brom - 4th March 1967
Division Three Queens Park Rangers and Division One West Brom went head to head in the first ever League Cup final held at Wembley Stadium. In front of a huge 97,000 spectators, Alec Stock’s side came from two goals down to seal a 3-2 victory and clinch the R’s only major silverware to date.
Clive Clark put the Baggies ahead in the seventh minute and just before half-time his second of the game doubled the west midlands team’s advantage. However, following the break, a resurgent QPR found a route back into the game that no one expected. Roger Morgan halved the deficit when his 63rd minute header finally rewarded Rangers for their persistence.
Maverick Rodney Marsh drew Rangers level with 15 minutes remaining and with nine minutes left on the clock Mark Lazarus was able to tap the ball home, sealing what was a legendary victory for the R’s.
QPR Starting XI: Springett, Hazell, Langley, Keen, Hunt, Sibley, Lazarus, Sanderson, Allen, Marsh, R. Morgan

The Luton game really showed us fans at our best and today we have to turn up as well. The team have showed us they can put in shift now its time for the club as a whole to show we mean business. WBA will be a real test for us and we'll see if we're serious contenders.
I'm feeling nervous and excited about today, but my main concern is Hugill having a good game. We potentially have a very lethal strike force but need to firing from all cylinders.
