Millwall midfielder not set for playing return for at least another month

BY RICHARD CAWLEY

Millwall midfielder Ben Thompson is not set for a return to action until next month.

The 24-year-old has been out since damaging his ankle blocking a cross in the 1-0 win at Derby County on December 14.

“Thommo is still a good way off,” said Lions manager Gary Rowett. “He is not even outside running or anything like that.

“He is progressing quite well but is still quite a way [from returning].

“I think we’re looking at a minimum of March for him – and at what point in March I’m not sure.”
