Harry Redknapp unsure of Julio Cesar future

Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp has admitted that he is unsure whether Julio Cesar will force his way into his starting XI this season.

The 33-year-old, who is Brazil's number one, had been expected to depart Loftus Road in the summer following the club's relegation to the Championship.

"It's a difficult situation with Julio and I'm surprised no-one came in for him. He's a world-class keeper. [Brian] Murphy's also a good goalkeeper. And besides I don't know whether Julio wants to sit on the bench," Redknapp told the club's official website.

"His dream is to play in the World Cup in Brazil and I don't think this will affect his situation. The manager of Brazil thinks he's the number-one man and I don't think anything that happens at QPR is going to change that for him."

Cesar joined QPR from Inter Milan in 2012.
