Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean is yet to speak with Christopher Samba since he claimed in a French interview that he wants out.

Samba missed Friday's training due to illness.

Kean said: "When I spoke to the press on Thursday, I was told he was meant to have done an article.

"So I'd like to talk to him because it's happened before where he has been misquoted, but then on Friday he texted in sick, so I haven't spoken to him."

There was a suggestion, though, Kean was not happy with the player as he said: "I would rather talk about the lads who were out there, those who put their body on the line for the club and each other.

"Anybody else who is not here, I'd rather not talk about them."
