West Brom v QPR: Who's out and who's a doubt as Tony Mowbray discusses suspension concern

The Baggies welcome their visitors from the capital as Marti Cifuentes' men know a win in the Black Country will slice the gap between them and the Baggies, in sixth, from eight points to five.

Home boss Tony Mowbray confirmed to the Express & Star in his Thursday press conference that barring a few niggles earlier in the week Albion have no fresh availability concerns ahead of the clash.

The Baggies have three senior first-team players sidelined with existing injuries in Josh Maja, Jed Wallace and Semi Ajayi.

Mowbray nodded to suspension concerns in his squad with eight yellow cards apiece for left-back Callum Styles and midfielder Jayson Molumby.

Ten yellow cards results in an automatic two-match ban - though the cut-off period to collect double-figures for cautions arrives after next weekend's home game against Hull, in three matches' time. As such the duo must avoid a booking for the next three fixtures or they will miss two games on the other side of the international break after Hull.

Mowbray said he will not be having conversations to remind his players of such risks until they reach nine yellows, one from a ban.

He added: "We've had a few niggles and knocks with players missing bits but generally everybody was out there training today who is available. It's a three-game week so we have to assess if any players struggle with three-game weeks, or if there is extra caution with injuries to key players."

"(Jed Wallace, Josh Maja and Semi Ajayi) They are not around. It is too early for them. Semi was in today, I saw him getting into his car, but they are not even on the grass yet with the physios and that's generally a process with a week before, if you've had a length out, you'll go on the grass and have a jog around with movements. But they are not at that stage yet."

Here is a run through of Albion's injury concerns.

Jed Wallace - calf

Albion's club captain has not played since he hobbled out of the draw at Millwall in the second half. He picked up a muscle injury which the club are hopeful is not too serious. With just one week of three games remaining until after the international break, he is almost certain not to feature until the return at the earliest.

Josh Maja - ankle

Top scorer Maja has not played since early January when he underwent surgery on what the club described as a lower leg problem.

Maja was spotted in a protective boot last week and will not return to any serious training until later this month at the earliest. He is not expected to be in contention to play until April but could be a boost for the final weeks.

Semi Ajayi - hamstring

Ajayi returned from the best part of four months out at Millwall but pulled up the following weekend in the win against Oxford with another hamstring injury. Ajayi is billed to miss several weeks and is also out until after the international break.
