Rowett won’t know yet whether Mason Bennett injury will keep him out for opener at QPR

Millwall manager Gary Rowett fears Mason Bennett may have damage in his ankle following a challenge in Saturday afternoon’s 3-0 win at Ipswich.
Bennett, a second half substitute, was forced into an early exit by a challenge which the Lions boss said should have been a penalty.
Speaking after the game Rowett said, “I thought it was a stonewall penalty, I’ve watched it back. The lad just clatters him as he gets a toe in there. It’s accidental, but it’s a penalty.”
The former Derby man will be assessed this week ahead of Saturday’s season opener against QPR.
Rowett added: “I think Mason just rolls his ankle at the same time so I would anticipate that that’s the only negative to today. Until it settles it’s hard to say but I would imagine there is a little bit of damage in there so we will find out soon.”
