Millwall vs Brentford preview - Wilkinson out for Lions

Posted Friday, November 07, 2014 by PA

Millwall will be without Andy Wilkinson for the London derby against Brentford.

On-loan Stoke full-back Wilkinson starts a three-match ban after he was sent off during Tuesday night's 2-2 draw against Blackburn, despite the Lions launching an appeal against the decision.

Striker Mathias Ranegie is fit after a hamstring injury but left-back Scott Malone (thigh) is a doubt and midfielder Nicky Bailey (calf) remains sidelined.

Skipper Alan Dunne and fellow defender Byron Webster could return after dropping out of the starting line-up in midweek.

Jonathan Douglas is suspended for Brentford but Moses Odubajo and Jon Toral should be fit.

Midfielder Douglas serves a one-match ban after he collected his fifth booking of the season at Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.

Winger Odebajo, who has been deputising at right-back in the absence of Alan McCormack, was taken off during the 3-1 win with a hip injury and midfielder Toral suffered a cut to his head, but both are expected to be available.

McCormack (ankle) and striker Scott Hogan (cruciate) should therefore be the only injury absentees, while skipper Tony Craig will line up against the club for whom he made 146 appearances in four years.
