Kevin Nisbet and Michael Obafemi left out of Millwall squad for “disciplinary reasons”

Millwall head coach Neil Harris has revealed that Kevin Nisbet and Michael Obafemi were both not named in his matchday squad for today’s 1-0 win at Swansea City due to disciplinary reasons.

Scottish international Nisbet was signed from Hibernian in the summer.

Obafemi arrived on loan from Burnley in the January transfer window.

Harris said: “All I’m going to say is I’m building a culture and an environment at the football club. The standards are set by Neil Harris and Millwall Football Club. These are standards that I expect players to adhere to. Players will only be involved at my football club, when I’m in charge, if they hit those standards. It’s all about culture and environment.”

“Michael has done brilliantly for us on loan and we’re really thankful for his efforts. He didn’t feature for us off the bench the other day he wasn’t going to feature today. I’d rather play our own players who have trained impeccably.

“And secondly, with Kevin, it’s a disciplinary matter about culture and standards. There’s no bigger problem moving forward. Kevin is a huge part of our football club moving forward. But it wasn’t right to involve him today so I went with the group that I did.”

On Obafemi, Harris added: “Michael was based around discipline but also around that we weren’t not going to look to sign him in the transfer window, so no need to include him.”
