Ben May
May: Back in contention
Having missed most of the season through injury, Ben May will start on the bench tonight for Millwall's Johnstone's Paint Trophy Second Round tie against Bournemouth at The Den.

May will take his place amongst the substitutes alongside Zak Whitbread and Paul Robinson, with all three players likely to play some part in proceedings as caretaker boss Willie Donachie looks to get his squad back to full strength.

"I have had to give this quite a bit of thought," Donachie explained to the club's official site. "First and foremost, we want to win the tie and progress through to the next round.

"At the same time, there are players who I feel need a bit of a rest and others who could do with a game. I've also had to bear in mind the fact that we have to name six of the 11 players who have made most appearances for us this season.

"It is my intention to give Paul Robinson, Zak Whitbread and Ben May a run-out at some stage during the evening, but as I stressed at the beginning, the priority is to win the game."

Team: Pidgeley, Senda, Bakayogo, Grant, Craig, Shaw, Hackett, Mawene, Williams, Zebroski, Morais. Subs: Day, Whitbread, Robinson, May, fifth sub to be confirmed.
