Mark Hughes must decide whether to stick with Sean Derry in the middle of the park at Bolton but striker Heidar Helguson is out.

Hughes will be without striker Helguson for the vital match as the striker has been sidelined for the last six weeks but there appears to be some light at the end of the tunnel with the Icelandic international hoping to return to full training in the next two to three weeks.

Meanwhile Hughes has hinted he may stick with Derry in the middle of the park after he came in for the suspended Samba Diakite last week against Everton and shone in midfield but the Mali international is available again this weekend, but Hughes has hinted he may stick with veteran Derry.

Elswhere and striker DJ Campbell has returned to training but he is not yet ready to make a push for a place in the first team and Alejandro Faurlin (knee) is a long-term absentee.

Hughes will be hoping his defence stepps up to the mark as QPR have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 10 Premier League games away from home and have taken just two points from their last seven away games.
