Premier League wants traditional pre-match handshakes to happen at Loftus Road on Saturday despite ongoing racism saga involving the trio
Ferdinand will meet with his QPR manager, Mark Hughes, on Thursday to discuss the pre-match ritual ahead of Saturday's west London derby, but has told friends he is determined not to acknowledge the Chelsea pair.
It is understood that Queens Park Rangers may ask for the teams' traditional handshake to be abandoned to defuse the atmosphere at Loftus Road, although the Premier League have made it clear they want it to go ahead.
The handshake was scrapped last season when the sides met in the FA Cup following Terry's bust-up with Ferdinand in a Premier League fixture weeks before.
Terry was cleared of racially abusing Ferdinand in court but the case is still under FA investigation and the Chelsea captain could face a lengthy ban if found guilty at the FA hearing.
Cole testified for Terry, while Ferdinand's brother Rio retweeted a message that labelled Cole a "choc ice".
Manchester United defender Rio was punished by the FA and the incident has deepened the bad feeling between him, Anton and Cole.
Now QPR defender Ferdinand is considering snubbing Cole in the pre-match ritual this weekend.
Premier League chiefs feel the teams' handshake should take place, even if Ferdinand and his fellow Hoops would not be pressured to specifically acknowledge Terry.
Hughes gave his men the day off on Wednesday following the globe-trotting international exertions of many members of his multi-national squad.
The QPR manager plans to have a proper discussion on the issue with Ferdinand to decide on the club's approach to the situation and whether they will urge the Premier League to intervene.
Terry and Cole missed England's draw with Ukraine on Tuesday through injury but are both hopeful of being fit - they are determined not to be seen to be ducking the QPR game.
