Semir Telalovic missed Blackburn Rovers’ defeat to Swansea City with illness whilst Ryan Hedges and Sondre Tronstad will be assessed ahead of Millwall.
John Eustace’s side slipped to another defeat away from home, their seventh in their last nine on the road. He remains without a win in five Championship games since taking charge as head coach after the 2-1 reverse at Swansea.
Rovers were made to pay for a sluggish start in South Wales, conceding twice in the first 20 minutes. Despite rallying and pulling one back through Sam Szmodics, they weren’t able to take anything from the match.
Eustace was without Tronstad, who was ‘touch and go’ after an ankle injury. Hedges has missed the last two with a groin problem sustained against Norwich.

The head coach also confirmed Telalovic wasn’t included in the matchday squad after being ill on Friday. As a result, they decided not to risk the bug spreading in the squad.
“They were touch and go, that’s something we will assess for Tuesday,” Eustace said.
“Semir was poorly yesterday in training so we wanted to keep him away in case it spread across the camp.”
