Former Southampton and Huddersfield Town midfielder Oscar Gobern and German centre-back Christopher Schorch have both travelled with QPR on their pre-season trip to Italy.

The two trialists are among a 24-man party which also includes striker Charlie Austin, despite continued speculation over his future at the club.

Armand Traore is the only player missing with injury, as summer signings Massimo Luongo, Ben Gladwin, Jamie Mackie, Jay Emmanuel-Thomas and Sebastian Polter link up with their new team-mates.

Joining them will be Gobern, 24, and Schorch, 26, who are both free agents after leaving Huddersfield and MSV Duisburg respectively.

Rangers depart from Heathrow on Thursday afternoon ahead of a nine-day tour in Stresa, which includes friendlies against Shakhtar Donetsk, AS Monaco and Al Ittihad.
