Millwall captain Kevin Muscat will today play his first competitive game of football in five months as he lines up for The Lions' reserve team against Luton Town today.

The news will come as a welcome boost to manager Dennis Wise ahead of the start of Millwall's UEFA Cup campaign as he looks to get his squad back to full strength after a string of injuries to first team players.

Muzzy was injured in the club's FA Cup semi-final at Old Trafford against Sunderland and it was feared at one point that the injury could force the Australian out of the game. But after months of physiotherapy, the hard tackling defender is now on the verge of a return to first team football.
