Injury news: Young Millwall striker may be a doubt for Stoke City fixture
Aidomo Emakhu could be a doubt for Millwall’s Championship match at Stoke City this weekend.
The Irish striker, 19, made his debut for the Lions in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against Burnley.
Emakhu, signed from Shamrock Rovers in the January transfer window, came into the squad after Oliver Burke was ruled out due to illness.
But now the same problem has prevented the Republic of Ireland U19 international from training today.
“Aidomo rang in and said he is ill,” Lions boss Rowett told the South London Press this morning.
“We’ve got one of those little periods where we are having to try and get through it – you get one back and lose one. But as long as that is the worst that happens, we’re okay. We have proven we can get through tough periods with limited players. We have got a good squad with good characters but it is low on numbers, we need a little bit of luck.
“Benno (Mason Bennett) did his injury by stepping on someone’s foot and doing his ankle. Billy (Mitchell) doing his ankle….we’re going to need less of those unfortunate incidents.”
Hutchinson (groin) was expected to train today but Millwall’s club captain is not expected to shift Charlie Cresswell out of the side.
The former Fulham and Motherwell centre-back has been unavailable since early January.
“He’s been out for a few weeks, so we’ll have to be careful of that after his recent injuries,” said Rowett.
“Burkey we hope will be alright to do some training, we’ll see.”
