Bellamy to Start Against Q.P.R

Craig Bellamy is set to start against Q.P.R in the F.A Cup third round this Saturday.

Bellamy has been out of the side in recent weeks, with Shefki Kuqi and Paul Dickov being the preferred pairing up front. However, with a tough week ahead Mark Hughes is expected to shuffle the pack.

‘It may be an opportunity to rest a couple of players.’ He told the official website. However this does not mean he is taking the competition lightly.

‘We are looking to win the game, we have a good squad and one that is capable of progressing in competition.’ he continued.

Rovers will go in search of victory as they can ill afford a replay with fixtures beginning to pile up. After Q.P.R on Saturday they face a League Cup semi-final with Manchester United on Wednesday night and then a fixture with Bolton on Saturday.
