Edu Vargas has been branded a Joey Barton 'bad egg' at QPR.

The Mirror says Vargas refused to play for the club at Crystal Palace as they battled relegation.

The 25-year-old Chilean is one of the so-called 'bad eggs' currently in the firing line over their attitude at the Loftus Road club.

Boss Chris Ramsey twice asked him to go on as a substitute in the club's defeat at Selhurst Park on March 14.

Vargas is on loan from Italian side Napoli so is set to leave at the end of the season and QPR have confirmed he was fined two weeks' wages as a punishment, but refused to comment further.

Vargas is currently back home in Chile and will not return to QPR as his loan expires at the end of the season.
