Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes has rubbished reports linking veteran midfielder Tugay with an Ewood Park exit.
Tugay, 37, has not made a Premier League appearance this season, but Hughes claims he has no intention of letting the veteran former Turkey international leave the club.
"Tugay knows how we feel about him - we love him," said Hughes.
"He's at a stage where he will get a number of games. He knows that.
"There are very few players of his ilk so you can't afford to let them go."
The former Galatasaray and Rangers midfielder made 45 appearances in all competitions last season.
Meanwhile, Hughes has reported no fresh injury concerns ahead of Thursday's UEFA Cup qualifier against MyPa-47.
