Millwall winger injury update ahead of Sunderland fixture – quartet set to be unavailable at Stadium of Light

Tyler Burey looks set to miss Millwall’s Championship fixture at Sunderland on Saturday.

The Lions will also be without Ryan Leonard (hamstring), Mason Bennett (hamstring) and Shaun Hutchinson (groin).

Winger Burey came off the bench to feature in the closing stages of Saturday’s 2-0 victory over Cardiff City.

Club captain Hutchinson was substituted off for Charlie Cresswell after suffering a grade two tear.

“We’re pretty much how we were at the weekend,” Rowett told the South London Press, when asked for an injury update. “Mason is unavailable and Lenny is unavailable. Tyler looks like he is unavailable, he may be out for a week or 10 days. I think it is something that will probably keep him out but we’ll see how he is tomorrow.

“Hutchy is unavailable. It’s a bit disappointing but we just have to roll with the headaches and accept it is part of what happens. It’s certainly not ideal because you want to get a little bit of continuity and injuries make it difficult to maintain that strong squad with the ability to change things within games and between games.

“Tyler had a bang to his knee and we think it’s just a little bit of damage to his ligaments, not dissimilar to Zian’s [injury], which wasn’t really much. He woke up and felt like there was a bit of an issue.

“The good thing is most should be back fit after the international break and that is only three more games and not seven or eight. If you’ve got a hectic period then a lot of games can be missed but with that break coming up it then they don’t miss quite as many – that’s a positive.”
