Rangers have suffered a blow with Martin Rowlands set to miss the game against Southampton on Saturday.
Rowlands pulled up in training on Thursday with a calf strain and will miss the visit of the Saints. He will go for a scan on Friday afternoon but at this early stage he is also a major doubt for the visit to Luton Town on Saturday week.
His spot could go to Steve Lomas who completed 90 minutes for the reserves on Tuesday in the 2-2 draw with Wycombe. Gareth Ainsworth also comes into contention after starting as substitute at Blackburn.
Another player in with a shout is Scott Donnelly who has started as a substitute in the last two outings. The youngster has impressed Ian Holloway in recent weeks and the midfielder will be hoping for a place in the starting line up with another youngster who has seized his chance - Shabazz Baidoo.
Georges Santos may continue in midfield or he may have to move back to partner Dan Shittu as Matthew Rose has had a scan that shows a significant tear in his oblique muscle. Rose is a big doubt for the Southampton game but the medical staff are working hard to ensure the defender is available for selection.
Jake Cole suffered a significant sprain of his lateral ankle ligaments in the reserves on Tuesday and looks likely to be out of action for up to 6 weeks.
Kevin Gallen saw a consultant on Thursday and it looks as if the skipper will be sidelines for at least another two weeks. His symptoms stem from a back dysfunction which is mimicking a hamstring problem. He does not suffer from a simple muscle strain.
Marc Bircham, like Gallen, is suffering from a neural problem with is affecting his right hamstring. He looks set to start running on Monday.
Marc Nygaard is now able to jog following his mild calf strain.
Dominic Shimmin is having a scan on Friday afternoon to determine how much healing has taken place in his left groin and if scans show significant healing he will be able to begin running.
Tommy Doherty has now left the treatment room and is doing rehab with the fitness coach.
Rangers do have a new player training with the squad this morning and he is due to sign on a month's loan after training. Watch this space....

CLUBCALL Q.P.R - Holloway on transfer hunt -EXCLUSIVE
Ian Holloway has snapped up versatile young Blackburn defender Andrew Taylor but has so far been frustrated in his attempts to further add to the Queens Park Rangers squad.
The Rangers boss has been dealt a blow with the news that Matthew Rose has torn a muscle and with Ian Evatt struggling for form, Holloway has moved to add 19-year-old Taylor to his squad.
"We have signed Andy Taylor from Blackburn and he can play anywhere along the back. He is versatile, England Under-20 international and he is on loan and that is all we can do at the moment. He has yet to make his debut but that is all we can sign at the moment. The experienced people we are trying to get you can't get at the minute. Everybody wants to sell but we are doing what we can," Holloway exclusively told clubcall.
"When the big boys decide to buy and go for somebody we will all be scrapping around for the same sort of players."
Holloway also revealed he tried to sign Crewe striker Steve Jones but felt the price being quoted was unrealistic: "There are some situations where players are out of contract in the summer and at the moment their clubs asking for ridiculous fees.
"We spoke to Crewe about the possibility of bringing in Steve Jones and they were asking for £300,000 and he is out of contract in six months time, on a free - that is just bad business."
