QPR players are set to hold a meeting before their game with Chelsea to decide whether to shake John Terry’s hand, according to a report.
The two clubs are set to meet at Stamford Bridge in just over a week, and the race row is already the main talking point.
Chelsea captain John Terry faces criminal charges over allegations he racially abused QPR defender Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League match at Loftus Road on October 23.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Chelsea and QPR along with the Premier League will seek to clarify whether the issue of the handshake would have any implications for Terry’s court appearance.
It appears that some QPR players may refuse to shake hands with Terry, so the Premier League may decide to abandon the handshake altogether.
However, Terry could be ruled out of the game as he is suffering with a rib injury but with Branislav Ivanovic suspended and David Luiz struggling with a hamstring problem, Terry may have to play.
