Accrington Stanley chief executive Rob Heys says transfer-listed Town midfielder Gary Roberts is more likely to move to another Championship club than rejoin his League Two side. Stanley boss John Coleman has enquired about taking Roberts back to Lancashire.

Heys said: "John Coleman always keeps in touch with his former players. He has made a very tentative enquiry, but unfortunately Gary has played at a higher level and is on good wages at Ipswich. So maybe he'll try and stay at a better level elsewhere.

"But we are monitoring the situation and, if the opportunity becomes available, we'll make every effort to bring him back."

Roberts was one of five players made available by boss Jim Magilton and is believed to be available on a free transfer.

Meanwhile, TWTD understands that chief scout Steve McCall was due to watch Monday's 1-1 draw between Poland and Macedonia in Reutlingen, Germany. Neither side contained a player previously mentioned in connection with the Blues.

Town's Macedonian international midfielder Velice Sumulikoski missed the game as he is resting the shin injury which saw him miss a number of matches towards the end of the season.

Poland: Tomasz Kuszczak, Pawel Golanski, Adam Kokoszka, Mariusz Jop, Grzegorz Bronowicki (Jakub Wawrzyniak 46), Radoslaw Majewski (Marek Saganowski 59), Rafal Murawski, Mariusz Lewandowski (Dariusz Dudka 46), Tomasz Zahorski, Lukasz Gargula (Michal Pazdan 87), Radoslaw Matusiak.

Macedonia: Petar Milosevski, Goce Sedloski, Igor Mitreski, Vlade Lazarevski (Aleksandar Vasoski, 46), Goran Popov (Robert Petrov 61), Nikolce Noveski (Slavco Georgievski 46), Vlatko Grozdanovski, Darko Tasevski (Artim Polozani 46), Vanco Trajanov (Stevica Ristic 69) Goran Maznov (Ilco Naumoski 46), Goran Pandev (Aco Stojkov 61).
