Town are reported to have turned down a £2.5 million offer for Jon Walters from fellow Championship side QPR. Walters missed the weekend trip to PSV and last Tuesday’s club barbecue at Glemham Hall with a virus.
The Blues skipper was linked with a move to Stoke City in May, the Potters having been mentioned in connection with the 26-year-old back in 2008.
In June, manager Roy Keane revealed that the Blues had received offers for some of what he considered the club's "most important players”, who were likely to have been Walters and star youngster Connor Wickham.
