Millwall vs Blackburn Rovers preview - Duo back for Lions

Danny Shittu and Scott Malone will return to the Millwall line-up for the visit of Blackburn.

Boss Ian Holloway rested centre-half Shittu at Watford on Saturday with the Rovers game in mind, while Malone (thigh) will replace Matthew Briggs (calf) at left-back with both having only recently recovered from injuries.

Holloway is also confident striker Lee Gregory will shake off the minor knock which kept him out of the 3-1 defeat at Vicarage Road.

But Mathias Ranegie (hamstring) and Nicky Bailey (calf) are set to miss out again.

Blackburn will check on Lee Williamson's groin injury.

The midfielder only lasted 45 minutes in the 3-1 win over Reading on Saturday, which was Rovers' third straight triumph, so Ryan Tunnicliffe or David Dunn could come into consideration for Gary Bowyer's side.

Bowyer is unlikely to consider a raft of changes given his team's impressive form and the fact none of their four absentees are ready to return.

Tommy Spurr (groin) and Chris Brown (knee) - both yet to appear this season - and Josh King (back) and Jason Lowe (foot) are all still sidelined.
