QPR boss Hughes explains SWP missing for Liverpool win

QPR boss Mark Hughes insists he's happy with the form of Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Wright-Phillips was rested for the Liverpool game for the first time since Hughes took over in January.

Hughes said: "Shaun gives so much in training and in games and will never say that he is struggling to find that form he needs. But some players need to be taken out of the fray and given time to recuperate.

"I have been a player and sometimes the harder you try, the worse you get."
