Charlie Cresswell became the latest player to join the Lions earlier this month as he was signed on a season-long loan deal from Leeds United.

Here, we have decided to take a look at the latest Millwall news headlines that you might have missed…

Rowett explains why Zian Flemming and George Honeyman were absent from starting XI for Colchester clash

Rowett has revealed in an interview with News at Den that new signings Zian Flemming and George Honeyman didn’t start in the club’s meeting with Colchester due to the fact that they were both involved in a hard training session on Thursday.

Both of these players were introduced in the second-half of this fixture as they gained some match fitness ahead of the new season.

The Millwall boss has confirmed that both players will be given the opportunity to impress from the start in the Championship side’s meeting with Hammarby IF on Wednesday.
