A newspaper report on Tuesday suggested there was a fracas
at a social event where players from QPR and Crystal Palace were in attendance.
Policed were said to have been called following the incident
which left Caulker with "blood pouring down his face" and had been
reportedly sparked by a woman spilling a drink on Rio Ferdinand.
But QPR have moved to play down claims of a fight, insisting
Caulker's injury was as a result of him slipping over during the squad
get-together, which came a day after a crucial 2-0 victory over fellow
Premier League strugglers Burnley.
QPR spokesperson Ian Taylor responded to the report on
Twitter, writing: "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."
Club owner Tony Fernandes added on Twitter: "Steven
Caulker slipped over and hurt his head and is fine. Nothing else to
report."
