Goalkeeper Rob Green says the reason he has not played for QPR since New Year's Day is "purely financial".

The 36-year-old, who has also played for England, is still on the Championship club's payroll but has been left out of the first team due to costs.

Green told Ore Oduba on BBC Radio 5 live that he was being positive, saying "It's a difficult one to deal with, but now it has given me a new lease of life".
