QPR are able to welcome back Adel Taarabt for Sunday's vital Barclays Premier League clash with Stoke.

The Morocco international missed last week's 6-1 thrashing at west London rivals Chelsea through suspension, but is available for selection to face the Potters.

Samba Diakite is a doubt as he struggles with a virus, although manager Mark Hughes hopes he will be an option for the Loftus Road encounter.

Thomas Sorensen will reclaim Stoke's number one jersey from Asmir Begovic.

Boss Tony Pulis has confirmed the Dane will play in the final two games of the season to ensure he is match sharp ahead of the European Championships next month.

Winger Jermaine Pennant (hamstring) and defender Andy Wilkinson (groin) remain doubtful after missing Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Everton while midfielder Rory Delap (back) is also struggling.
