PORTUGUESE international defender Jose Bosingwa's future at English Premier League struggler QPR remained in the balance on Tuesday after the club's manager Harry Redknapp refused to say whether he would play for the side again.
Bosingwa has attracted both Redknapp's and the fans ire since he refused to sit on the substitute's bench for the Premier League game with Fulham earlier this month - it led to him being fined two weeks wages (130,000 pounds) and dropped from the squad for last weekend's game with Newcastle.
Redknapp, though, admitted on Tuesday the incident was still playing on his mind.
"It disturbed me when a player doesn't want to sit on the bench when you are bang in trouble," said the 65-year-old Englishman. "We are all in trouble. The owner and the fans see their team losing every week and suddenly you get someone who doesn't want to sit on the bench.
"He (Bosingwa) said: 'I don't want to sit on the bench.' He thinks he is too good to sit on the bench. That is what disturbs me in this game.
"I have seen one or two incidents that have disturbed me."
Redknapp, who replaced the sacked Mark Hughes in late November, could not confirm whether 30-year-old Bosingwa, who won the Champions League last season with Chelsea, would ever play for the club again.
"I will have to look at it in the future. Let's see how we go."
Redknapp, who will try and offload several players whom he criticized last weekend for not pulling their weight given the amount they are paid, said the side had to start putting together a good run otherwise it faced relegation.
Elsewhere, veteran goalkeeper Brad Friedel has signed up for another season at Premier League club Tottenham.
Tottenham said the 41-year-old American has signed a new contract through to 2014.
