Liverpool loanee defender will miss at least next two months of Millwall’s season

Liverpool loanee Calum Scanlon is facing at least two months on the Millwall sidelines.

The 19-year-old left-back signed for the Lions at the end of the summer transfer window.

Scanlon made his debut in the South London club’s defeat to Luton Town at The Den last weekend.

The youngster posted on social media that he was set for four months out but then subsequently deleted it.

Asked about Scanlon after Millwall’s 1-1 draw at QPR today, head coach Neil Harris said: “He has got a stress fracture in his back, which is a recurring injury from previous. That is unfortunate. We’re very disappointed to lose him because he is something different from what we have already got in the squad – as a very attack-minded full-back.

“He has gone back to Liverpool to be treated in the short-term and mid-term. He is going to be rescanned at six weeks and then we’ll have a better idea whether he is going to be back soon after that or going to be an extended period.

“Anything beyond that is not a discussion at the moment.”
