Wales international forward Roberts has joined the Rs on a season-long loan but the 23-year-old has recently been sidelined with a hamstring injury and missed Saturday’s pre-season friendly defeat to a Crystal Palace XI.

However, Beale has delivered a positive update on the Whites loanee whom the Rs boss expects to have back available for next Saturday’s Championship opener at Blackburn Rovers.

“They’re all back in full training on Monday. All four are fit for next weekend unless they have a problem. But it’s what level of fitness – because they’ve had sporadic pre-seasons.

“Tyler tells me he feels really good. What I don’t want to do is push anyone and create an injury.”
