QPR goalkeeper Rob Green insists there was nothing sinister over Steven Caulker's head injury this week.

Caulker was taken to hospital with a cut head after QPR and Crystal Palace players met up at a London pub as Rangers officials confirmed that the one-cap England defender needed treatment.

Green has rubbished reports that trouble broke out on Sunday afternoon when players from both sides were out to celebrate good results from the day before.

He told BBC Radio 5 Live: "If you wanted an accurate headline on the story, it would be 'man falls over'.

"I think that in response, the club have said pretty much what happened. He came out, slipped over and banged his head.

"It was a Sunday lunch, after we'd had a tough week winning two games out of three, including a big win against Burnley. We didn't have a game until a week on Monday.

"Steven was back out of hospital and we had a laugh about it, and unfortunately it's made the front page of the paper."
