QPR are investigating how Julio Cesar was photographed online with him wearing a replica Chelsea shirt. The 33-year-old Brazil international was pictured wearing the home shirt of London rivals Chelsea as he posed with countryman David Luiz at a birthday party for the Blues defender.

The image was quickly circulated on social media platforms, with QPR head of communications Ian Taylor writing later on Twitter: "The club is aware of an image of Julio Cesar circulating on social networking feeds.

"The image, which appeared on an Instagram account, has since been deleted. The club will be dealing with this issue internally."
