Town reportedly can no longer recall Bartosz Bialkowski from his loan at Millwall during the January transfer window.
TWTD revealed earlier in the week that Cardiff and Blackburn were keen on signing the 32-year-old on a permanent basis during this window but, according to the
London News Online, under the season-long loan deal agreed in the summer the Blues had only a limited period in which they could recall the Polish international in January with the cut-off date having passed earlier in the week.
That being the case, Bialkowski will now remain with the Lions, with whom he has been a big success in first half of the campaign, for the rest of the season with the former Southampton and Notts County man’s long-term future set to be looked at in the summer.
Millwall Facing Competition From Cardiff and Blackburn for Bialkowski

TWTD understands Millwall are facing competition for on-loan Blues keeper Bartosz Bialkowski from Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers.
Bialkowski is currently on a season-long loan with the Lions where he has enjoyed a very successful first half of the campaign and quickly become a fans’ favourite. The keeper is believed to be very happy at the Den.
However, we understand the Blues would like to cash in on the 32-year-old this window, in which he can be recalled, with Cardiff - who are now managed by Neil Harris, the man who brought Bialkowski to Millwall in the summer - very keen to sign the Polish international with West Ham believed to be eyeing a move for their current keeper Neil Etheridge, who was interesting Aston Villa in the summer.
Krystian Bielik was the grateful recipient as he hooked the ball into the empty net for his first Derby goal.
And Etheridge was beaten again in the 17th minute. Blues captain Harlee Dean challenged Sibley and referee Tony Harrington pointed to the spot, with Shinnie emphatically converting the penalty.
Derby were rampant and Etheridge made a fine save to prevent Sibley from making it three.
But the reprieve was temporary as Rooney s side took advantage of some dreadful defending from Shinnie s resulting corner.
Matthew Clarke flicked it on at the near post and everyone in blue watched as Colin Kazim-Richards slid it in unchallenged at the back post.
