Tendayi Darikwa is out long-term with a cruciate ligament injury and remains sidelined for Lincoln's trip to QPR, while Mason Melia is doubtful because of a thigh problem. Conor McGrandles has returned to training and could be available after the Watford defeat. Ben House is fine after taking a blow to the face against Birmingham, though he may need to wear a mask.

Tom Bayliss made his first start of the recent run in the Watford loss, with Adam Reach and Recco Hackett-Fairchild used as substitutes and Ivan Varfolomeev not featuring.
