Queens Park Rangers' injury list in full ahead of Leeds United encounter

Queens Park Rangers could hand a debut to former Leeds United starlet Jack Clarke against his old club this weekend as the Whites travel to London on Saturday.

Marcelo Bielsa's side make the trip to Loftus Road this weekend for a vital Championship clash as they look to ensure they drop no more points in their promotion pursuit.

Last week's defeat to Sheffield Wednesday means not only did United slip off the summit, but third-place Brentford closed the gap behind them in the play-off race.

Leeds themselves are likely to be missing a couple of faces for the encounter, but Mark Warburton may only have the odd absentee as he mulls over whether to field Clarke following his arrival on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

Here's who could miss out for the hosts...

Yoann Barbet

The Frenchman hasn't played since October and it looks like he won't be making his return against the Whites either when the pair face off.

He's on the road to recovery from a nasty hamstring knock which means he has missed half of the campaign so far, with Rangers languishing in the lower half of the table.

His absence is likely to be felt at the back - his team have shipped five goals in their last three games across all competitions.

Charlie Owens

The midfielder is out with a knee problem and is unlikely to be ready for a return to action this weekend either.

He has been out of the equation for some time too, having not featured since August's Carabao Cup clash defeat to Portsmouth.

When he returns to action, the 22-year-old will likely bolster his manager's options in the middle of the park.
