The 26-year-old Brazil star was due to start against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon. But Loftus Road officials are desperately trying to resolve a visa issue that could stop him playing against the deposed champions. The problem concerns the expiry date on Sandro’s UK permit.

You can imagine a point in 5 years' time when the manager turns up and there's no players left because they're all out of contract and have wandered off.
Or we turn up for a game at Anfield when we're supposed to be playing Yeovil because of confusion about which league we're playing in
WTF ...............I'd just play him. I'd make SWP captain for the day, partnering Adel and Caulker as our 3 backs. I'd put Barton covering the whole of midfield ................ no doubt, he'll blow a top and smack the ref and every City player within reach. I'd put Zarate up front with Viva Los Vargas while Austin takes up fourth spot on the bench. The three keepers can sit on the bench with him. Why not? Why is it that every team that was below us are now above us, further more, and or out of the relegation zone? We continue to be the laughing stock of the competition and as a lifetime fan, I'm dirty on them for their pathetic effort. As always, I'll still be a QPR man next year but hopefully, most of the players won't be.
You couldn't make it up. ... As we are so short of players today anyone going to the game should take their football boots with them as they are likely to get a game. ...

An "issue" with the visa? May be Sky Sports will elucidate before the start of this afternoon's match. We cannot be so negligent that we overlooked expiry, can we?
This would be unforgivable when we're fighting relegation, however slim our chances of avoiding it. Just have to watch this space to get the full picture.
