Queens Park Rangers have drafted in Phil Barnes from Sheffield United as emergency goalkeeping cover.Barnes has signed for The R's in time to play against Leeds United at Elland Road on Saturday.
R's boss Ian Holloway swooped for the shot-stopper after making the trip to West Yorkshire without a professional keeper in his squad.
Simon Royce has suffered an abdominal injury, while Jake Cole, who is not fit in any case, has just been handed a suspension.
That prompted Holloway to wrap up an emergency loan deal for Barnes, who has barely featured for The Blades this season.
Barnes' only action has come in cup competitions and he is due to make his first Championship start of the campaign when QPR tackle Leeds.
