Millwall vs Bury - Neil Harris faces defensive reshuffle

Posted Friday, November 27, 2015 by PA

Millwall boss Neil Harris could be forced into a defensive reshuffle for the Sky Bet League One visit of Bury.

With Tony Craig a long-term absentee with a knee injury, Joe Martin suspended after picking up a fifth yellow card of the season in the 2-1 defeat at Fleetwood on Tuesday and Carlos Edwards struggling with a hamstring issue, Harris has limited options.

Ed Upson and Shane Ferguson are players who could move into the defence as the Lions look to get back to winning ways.

Jimmy Abdou is still missing with a broken collarbone as Harris looks to manage the minutes his squad are racking up.

Bury manager David Flitcroft is hoping to extend the loan of Leicester's Joe Dodoo with the highly-rated winger expected to play against Millwall.

The 20-year-old has put in two man-of-the-match performances in as many games and Flitcroft is hoping he can keep him for longer than the initial month.

Winger Chris Eagles is edging closer to full fitness after easing his way into life at Gigg Lane.

Eagles joined Bury on a free transfer in October after being released by Charlton in May. He has made three appearances for Bury, two of which have been as a substitute.
