Queens Park Rangers boss Ian Holloway has been boosted by the news that striker Paul Furlong is fit to resume training following a hip injury.
The former Chelsea and Birmingham City star has been missing for five weeks because of the problem, but is set to return to bolster the forward line at Loftus Road.
Holloway said: "Paul will be back in training this week. He'll have to work hard, but it's good to have the option of a big man."
The 35-year-old has netted six goals for the R's this season, but his last outing came in the 0-0 draw at Peterborough United in mid-October.
