Carlos Villanueva has insisted he does not regret his loan move to Blackburn Rovers.

The 22-year-old Chile midfielder arrived at Ewood Park on a season-long loan from Audax Italiano last summer.

However, Villanueva is expected to leave the club in the January transfer window after struggling for first-team opportunities.

He told La Tercera newspaper: "I am not currently playing. I know they will not use the option to buy me. I've been told that since the moment the news came up.

"Everything has been quite difficult to me. I thought I was doing my job well and reality changed suddenly from one day to the next.

"Now, I am thinking positively and waiting for another opportunity. I do not regret coming to Blackburn Rovers.

"I had the chance to experience closely one of the most important leagues in the world. I will be able to tell my grandchildren that I played in England.

"I am happy for the opportunity I've had, to have been at the club. It's extraordinary."
