Millwall is gearing up to face Luton Town at The Den as the Championship action resumes this weekend. The team’s impressive 3-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday was a strong statement under the leadership of Neil Harris, who is eager to continue the momentum in the upcoming match against Luton Town.

One major setback for Millwall is the delay in the debut of their £3 million summer acquisition, Mihailo Ivanovic, due to a metatarsal issue. Despite training with Serbia during the international break, Ivanovic had to be withdrawn from the squad following the injury. Neil Harris remains hopeful for a swift resolution and Ivanovic’s return to the pitch.

In other injury news, Tom Bradshaw’s hamstring injury is expected to keep him sidelined for a significant period, while Murray Wallace is nearing a return after featuring with the academy midweek. Billy Mitchell’s availability is uncertain, and Adam Mayor is likely to miss out once again.

On the Luton Town front, all eyes are on the potential inclusion of Victor Moses, the former Chelsea winger who recently signed with the club as a free agent, although his match fitness remains a question mark. Fans are also awaiting updates on summer loan signing Tom Krauß, who has been nursing an ankle injury and was anticipated to make a return post-international break.

Unfortunately, Daiki Hashioka is set to sit out due to a calf injury sustained in pre-season, while Jacob Brown and Tom Lockyer continue to be long-term absentees for Luton Town. The clash between Millwall and Luton Town promises to be an intriguing matchup with both sides dealing with their own injury concerns and potential debutants on the horizon.
