Taarabt hits back at Redknapp

QPR forward Adel Taarabt has hit back at manager Harry Redknapp over claims that he is overweight and unfit to play.

Redknapp launched an attack on the Morocco international after QPR’s 3-2 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, claiming Taarabt was “not fit to play football”, adding, “I can’t keep protecting people who don’t want to run about and train, who are about three stone overweight”.
