Queens Park Rangers boss Mark Hughes has hinted that Anton Ferdinand will face Chelsea in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Ferdinand was the victim of alleged racial abuse at the hands of John Terry, and the pair will face each other in court just four days after the cup match.
"It is a huge test for us, but knowing Anton I am sure he will want to be involved in that game," Hughes said.
"It is a big one because of the opposition."
Ferdinand led QPR last night as they defeated MK Dons 1-0 to progress in the competition.
