Michael Mancienne and Akos Buzsaky are both fighting to be fit for Saturday's trip to Blackpool, despite picking up injuries at Stoke City on Tuesday night.

Chelsea loanee Mancienne limped away from the action after just 19 minutes with a hamstring problem, while Hungarian Buzsaky suffered a dead leg late on

Head Physio Paul Hunter told www.qpr.co.uk: "Akos and Michael have both made good progress and are now in a race against time to be fit for Saturday's game."

Mancienne was sidelined for seven weeks earlier in the season after suffering a hamstring problem against Southampton at Loftus Road.

Thankfully, this latest setback isn't as bad.

"It's not the same injury as before, which is good," added Hunter. "It certainly isn't as serious."
