Taarabt was not involved in Fulham's 2-0 league defeat at Swansea on Tuesday.
"We thought it would be a wise decision to not include him," Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen said.

During his three years at White Hart Lane he had two loan spells at QPR before joining the Loftus Road club in a permanent deal in August 2010.
