RYAN Longman is set to see a specialist to assess his shoulder injury.
The 23-year-old started last Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Preston North End but dislocated his shoulder in the first half and was taken off at half-time.
Longman would not have been available to play against Hull on Saturday in any case as he is on loan from the Tigers but Millwall will be hoping to get him back soon.
Millwall boss Joe Edwards said: “Ryan did dislocate his shoulder. We’re waiting to see the specialist who’s away at the moment which slows that process down. But that isn’t an issue for us because Ryan’s unable to play against Hull anyway.
“By the start of next week, Ryan will see the specialist to get the full extent on his shoulder but, on the first viewings of it, we’re anticipating it’s quite similar to Aidomo [Emakhu’s] one in that it will probably be a few weeks as opposed to anything too serious or long-term, so fingers crossed.”
Millwall have had better news regarding Tom Bradshaw who has made steady progress from a hamstring injury that has seen him miss the last three games.
Edwards said: “It’s the opposite with Tom. He trained with the team [on Monday] and [Tuesday] is our big working day and he trains the full session today. So Tom’s made a good comeback in terms of his return time to training and, all being well, he’ll be available for selection this weekend.”
The wait to return to the pitch will be slightly longer for Emakhu after he rolled his ankle.
“Aidomo’s ended up being a bit slower so he will definitely be out against Hull,” Edwards added. “He’s not even been out on the grass or anywhere near end-stage rehab yet. I anticipate with the type of injury he’s got, once he’s out there it can accelerate really quickly but as of now he’s still indoors.
