Queens Park Rangers are likely to be without top scorer Charlie Austin for the visit of Leeds United at the weekend, according to a report.
The prolific forward, who has seven goals in 12 appearances this season, is still nursing a calf strain suffered during the international break.
Austin was forced to sit out last week's narrow defeat to Middlesbrough and, despite taking part in training on Friday morning, QPR are said to be pessimistic over the marksman's fitness once again.
It is claimed by West London Sport that the Premier League-linked forward is therefore unlikely to feature against Leeds on Saturday, but he could still form a part of the Hoops' matchday squad.
Clint Hill also faces a late fitness test, while Leroy Fer is suspended for the Loftus Road clash following his sending-off at Boro.
