Ugbo starts in one of 5 changes for MK Dons away at QPR
MK Dons hand a full debut to new signing Ike Ugbo in their FA Cup tie against QPR at Loftus Road.
The new signing starts two days after signing for MK Dons from Chelsea on a season long loan. His inclusion is one of 5 changes made by Robbie Neilson to the side that started against Oxford on New Year’s Day.

The players who drop out are Scott Golbourne, Ethan Ebanks-Landell, Kieran Agard, Peter Pawlett and Alex Gilbey.
The FA Cup Third Round tie is the third meeting in the tournament in five years, with the Dons losing a replay 1-0 at Loftus Road in 2012 before winning a Fourth Round tie at the same venue a year later.
