Roberts named in Blackburn squad after failing to get Wigan move

Jason Roberts has been named in Blackburn Rovers' 25-man squad.

The striker had agreed with Sam Allardyce it would be best for him to move on if possible but, with no acceptable offer having been made, he remains a Rover.

Roberts is unlikely to be allowed out on loan once the window opens again for Championship clubs.
