Queens Park Rangers manager Harry Redknapp has insisted that he has no problems with goalkeeper Julio Cesar after he was pictured wearing a Chelsea shirt.

The Brazilian shot-stopper insisted that he did not mean to antagonise QPR fans by wearing another team's colours during a birthday party for fellow countryman David Luiz.

While the West London outfit released a statement claiming that they are dealing with the "issue" internally, Redknapp has played down the situation.

"It was a bit of fun," West London Sport quotes Redknapp as saying. "He was round his mate's house – two Brazilian boys. It was just a bit of fun, that's all."

Meanwhile, QPR are preparing to take on Reading this weekend.
