‘Huge 48 hours’ – Millwall boss Harris on George Honeyman’s injury situation ahead of Sunderland clash

George Honeyman has not been ruled out of featuring for Millwall at Sunderland this weekend.

The former Black Cats midfielder missed Saturday’s 3-1 win over Cardiff with the shoulder injury sustained in last week’s victory against Leicester City.

Lions head coach Neil Harris said: “It will be an ongoing one – it is really how the shoulder settles.”He is desperate to be involved at Sunderland, his former club, and, if he is not, to be involved in the last home game of the season.

“He is an absolute winner and desperate to play football as part of the group.

“We have to be careful with George that we are not pushing too hard that we have any longer term damage to the shoulder.

“That is a fine balance at the moment. It really will be a tight call with George on whether he is back on the training pitch on Thursday and Friday – to be involved this weekend – or it could go the other way and we call it for this season and look at getting him ready for pre-season.

“It’s a huge 48 hours for George.”
