Queens Park Rangers midfielder Sandro has said that he is putting his friendship with Chelsea's Brazilian contingent on hold for this afternoon's clash at Loftus Road.
The 26-year-old will come up against compatriots Oscar and Ramires in today's West London derby but, with three crucial points at stake for relegation-threatened Rangers, Sandro says that there is no room for sentiment.
"I'm friends with Oscar and Ramires so it's going to be hard because they are the top team and not easy to play against," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News.
"We do things together but just off the pitch as friends. On the pitch – no friends."
Victory would lift Chris Ramsey's side out of the relegation zone.
