Queens Park Rangers have rejected reports that Steven Caulker was involved in an altercation during a social gathering with his teammates after he was treated in hospital for a cut to his head.
On Sunday, the team went out for pub lunch, but a newspaper report has claimed that a brawl broke out at the venue, which was believed to have been attended by both QPR and Crystal Palace players.
Following the rumours, QPR spokesperson Ian Taylor cleared up the situation by tweeting: "Following Saturday's Premier League win versus Burnley & with no further fixture for nine days the club can confirm players were allowed to have a Sunday lunch together.
"Steven Caulker was not involved in an altercation. He did suffer a cut to his head, which he received treatment for at hospital before being discharged on the same evening. The club will be making no further comment."
Last week, manager Harry Redknapp claimed that the players would not have a Christmas party this year due to the "aggravation" it causes.
