Nedum Onuoha has backed Brian Murphy to fill the void left by crocked keeper Rob Green.

The QPR No1 suffered a suspected rib injury during Saturday's victory against Yeovil and is a big doubt for tomorrow night's trip to Sheffield Wednesday.

Murphy, who came on for his first league appearance for the Hoops, is in line to deputise again at Hillsborough.

And team-mate Onuoha has backed the Irishman to plug the gap between the sticks.

He said: “If he gets the opportunity I would be very happy for him and very confident as well.

"I’ve played with him loads in training and he’s a fantastic keeper. He’s so professional and I hope this is an opportunity for him."
