Hackett: Out
Millwall will be without the services of winger Chris Hackett for the foreseeable future after he underwent reconstructive surgery on his knee.

As reported on Millwall Mad last week, the former Oxford United and Hearts player was due to go under the knife in order to assess the full extent of his injury but after the initial procedure Hackett's doctors decided that he would require further surgery on his cruciate ligamet.

"Unfortunately Chris has a long-term injury," Assistand caretaker manager Colin West told the club's official site. "We'll be looking at him month by month as his cruciate ligament needed some reconstructive work."
