Injury Crisis Hits Millwall: Four Key Players Set to Miss Crucial Clash with Stoke City

08/11/2024 Raymond 0

Millwall heads into Saturday’s clash with Stoke City facing a potential setback, as manager Neil Harris has revealed that four key players may be sidelined due to injuries. Fresh off a 1-0 victory over Leeds United that propelled them into the Championship play-off spots, Millwall’s win came at a cost. Forward Josh Coburn, who joined on loan from Middlesbrough, made an impact in Wednesday’s match but aggravated a prior injury, likely ruling him out for the upcoming game. Tom Bradshaw, Adam Mayor, and Billy Mitchell are also expected to miss out until after the international break. Despite these challenges, Stoke City, coming off two consecutive wins, will be eager to capitalize on Millwall’s depleted lineup as they look to close the four-point gap.

“Danny Röhl Explains Bold Team Choices Ahead of Sheffield Wednesday’s Clash with Brentford: ‘Why Not?'”

29/10/2024 Raymond 0

In a highly anticipated clash, Premier League side Brentford will host Sheffield Wednesday tonight, as the Owls aim for a Carabao Cup upset. Manager Danny Röhl has been weighing his team selection, admitting as recently as Friday that he was unsure whether to make significant changes or stick with a core group of players. This season, Röhl has taken advantage of cup outings to rotate his squad, giving opportunities to fringe players and achieving notable victories against teams from every EFL division.

However, tonight’s opponent, Brentford, presents the toughest challenge yet, backed by a deep squad honed from three years of Premier League competition. Röhl is also mindful of the grueling Championship schedule ahead, including the Sheffield derby on November 10, especially after injuries to key players like Akin Famewo and Olaf Kobacki.

In a conversation with *The Star*, Röhl reflected on the importance of the cup match while acknowledging the demands of upcoming fixtures. He expressed a mixture of excitement and caution, stating, “On the one hand, I am really looking forward to such a game because we worked now to get to the fourth round, and it is a great opportunity. We deserve it.” With a strong focus on preparation, he remains optimistic about advancing in the tournament, saying, “We will take the cup game, we will try, we will be prepared, and maybe we can step into the next round. Why not?”

Meanwhile, backup goalkeeper Jack Bonham is undergoing assessment for a wrist injury, with several other players also sidelined due to various injuries.

Philippe Clement in loaded Rangers barb after having Ibrox wool pulled over his eyes

14/07/2024 Raymond 0

Philippe Clement was defiant as Rangers’ season concluded disappointingly last campaign. After taking over in October, the Belgian manager initially sparked a resurgence at Ibrox, but the underperforming squad reverted to form in the final stretch. With the title within reach, Rangers struggled with mounting injuries, Dundee’s poor pitch conditions, and the challenge of grinding out results. A psychological barrier against eventual champions Celtic also proved detrimental.

Despite Clement’s talk of a significant rebuild over the summer bringing fresh optimism, recent comments have dampened that hope. Following a midweek friendly against Standard Liege, Clement expressed frustration over the summer transfer activity, citing the departure of five experienced first-team players and managing expectations for youthful additions Hamza Igamane and Clinton Nsiala, who are not expected to start.

Rangers fans, already anxious due to a perceived lack of transfer activity and the chaos surrounding the rebuild of the Copland Stand, found little reassurance in Clement’s remarks. After a 2-1 friendly defeat to Ajax, Clement further unsettled fans by stating that sales would be necessary before new signings could be made and hinted at being misled about the situation at Ibrox before taking the job. This growing frustration has only exacerbated the disconnect between the fans and the increasingly chaotic club.
