Preston North End rivals Millwall hit with another telling injury blow ahead of Deepdale head-to-head
Millwall have been handed another injury blow ahead of their trip to Preston on Saturday. Lions boss Gary Rowett has confirmed utility man Ryan Leonard will be forced to miss the game at Deepdale because of a cracked bone in his knee. The setback comes just days after Millwall learned that striking duo Kevin Nisbet and Duncan Whatmore - both out with hamstring injuries - will play no part against Ryan Lowe’s side.
‘He felt sore afterwards. It looks likely he will need a bit of rest and then see where it is. It’s a couple of weeks rest. That’s the general feeling with it. It’s not ideal, but it could have been worse.’ Millwall travel to Deepdale 15th in the table after an inconsistent start to the season. They’re currently five points behind Lowe’s third-placed team who are looking to end a three-game losing streak on their return after the international break.
