Town worry over Kongolo’s fitness

Terence Kongolo is a doubt for bottom-club Huddersfield’s home clash against Millwall.

Boss Danny Cowley revealed the defender has “picked up a soft-tissue injury” and was only expected to resume training on Friday, but he may yet make the game.

Alex Pritchard has not featured since the end of August after sustaining a knee problem but Cowley confirmed the midfielder may be back in action this weekend.

“Alex is getting closer; we haven’t been able to use him until this point. He’s a key player for us and is someone we expect to play an important part in this team,” Cowley said. “We’re hopeful he will be ready for Saturday.”

Millwall will still be without Jiri Skalak for their trip to West Yorkshire.

The Czech Republic winger has a foot injury and is Neil Harris’ only definite absentee.

Harris was able to call on fit-again pair Jason McCarthy and Shaun Hutchinson for the home loss to QPR last week and both are likely to retain their places.

The Lions have not won since beating Sheffield Wednesday on August 17 but are eight points better off than their weekend hosts.
