QPR HAVE DENIED reports that midfielder Sandro has been deported from the United Kingdom.
A story in British media claimed the former Tottenham man was forced to return to Brazil as he does not have a valid work permit.
The club confirmed in May that there was a problem with his visa and he missed the last three matches of the season as QPR were relegated from the Premier League.
However, QPR have now moved to deny he has been removed from the country, insisting the player is on holiday.
A club statement read: “The club is aware of a story in The Sun newspaper regarding Sandro and the Home Office.
“Whilst the club is in dialogue with the Home Office in a bid to resolve the matter, it is not in a position to comment further at this time.
“However, the club can clarify that Sandro is currently on holiday in Brazil — but wasn’t deported as suggested in the article. The club will be making no further comment.”
We’re talkin’ softball..
@Darragh Farrelly: ……Ozzie and the Straw
Has anybody actually seen Bradys thumb? I’m not for a moment suggesting the Patriots would do anything underhand to get an edge on their opponents ;)
@Baz: They are the masters of gamesmanship!
Tom is going to use his left hand this time…just to make things fair..
Great article Steve, hope Brady’s thumb gets through game. People in Boston seem to think he will manage. back up QB not capable of winning this one!!!
@billy o connor: he was until he was traded to the 49ers for a 2nd round pick!
