Jordan Cousins and Massimo Luongo ruled out of QPR's trip to Derby

Jordan Cousins and Massimo Luongo will both miss QPR’s Championship trip to Derby.

Cousins jarred his knee during Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat by Aston Villa, while Luongo was taken ill and went off at half-time.

Michael Petrasso, Paul Smyth and Ilias Chair have travelled with the squad as Rangers eye their first away win of the season.

Manager Ian Holloway said: “Jordan is out but it’s a precaution and we hope he’ll be okay for Brentford next Monday. Massimo is ill and hasn’t travelled, which is a shame.

“It’s an opportunity for those coming into the squad to impress and, knowing those boys as I do, I know they’ll be looking to lay down a marker.”

QPR have just four points from eight away games.

Holloway added: “The whole mindset away from home has to change. Derby have some great players, so it’s a big ask, but we’re in good spirits.”
