Chris Ramsey: 'Queens Park Rangers will miss suspended Joey Barton'

Queens Park Rangers boss Chris Ramsey has admitted that the team will miss the suspended Joey Barton against Arsenal tomorrow night.

The midfielder is banned for the game at Loftus Road after being sent off for hitting Tom Huddlestone during Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Hull City.

Ramsey is hopeful that the squad will be able to cope with the loss of Barton, but he believes that they will miss the 32-year-old.

"It's disappointing to lose Joey because he is a wholehearted player who has been involved since we've come on board," he is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "Joey is a loss but we have to use the squad as best we can and make sure everyone does their part."

QPR currently sit above the relegation zone in the Premier League table on goal difference.
