Allardyce pours cold water on Grella leaving Blackburn

Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce insists Vince Grella is not leaving the club, after seeing him play an hour against Sydney. Rovers wrapped up their pre-season preparations in Australia on Saturday with a 2-1 victory over the hosts in the Sydney Festival of Football.

On Grella, Allardyce played down reports suggesting he could soon be on his way to Turkish giants Galatasaray.

He added: "There has been no contact from Galatasaray at all. Vince is still one of our players and we are glad to see him get 60 minutes in today."
