Jason Robert prepared for a clash with Terry

Jason Roberts has assured that there will be another physical struggle when Chelsea takes on Blackburn at Ewood Park on Sunday.

Terry has stated reluctantly in the past that he considers Jason amongst the top strikers in the league. The player even scored his first goal against Chelsea.

This former Chelsea youth player signed a new three year deal with Rovers and is targeting to prove himself at Ewood park , especially against the captain of the English team.

Roberts said, ‘He is a fine player and I hope the battle that we always have in the ground may continue for long. Hopefully, I come out as a member of the winning team this time.’

‘My first goal was against Chelsea at Old Trafford in the FA Cup semifinal. I still remember the fantastic occasion.’

‘At this moment, I consider Chelsea is playing as good as any other European football team.’

‘They are undoubtedly a very good side with some of the finest players in their squad. So, the game will be very big and important.’

‘A good performance against them will be something that will be in the headlines for many days to come.’

‘It’s significant to me also because through 14 to 16 I was in the books at Chelsea until missed out on a contract which was a severe blow.’

It’s quite certain that Roberts will start on Sunday as their team is likely to be without Benni Mc Carthy, who is suspended and Roque Santa Cruz is suffering a calf tear.

Meanwhile, Ince has intentions of bringing in former Manchester United teammate Andrew Cole as a strikers coach, but the final decision is still hanging in the air.
