The Den

Boss Steve Kember faces an injury nightmare ahead of the short trip to the Den on Saturday for the South London derby against Millwall.

Out injured are: Dougie Freedman, Neil Shipperley, Shaun Derry and Kit Symons. Suspended are: Michael Hughes and Tony Popovic.

The youngsters are more than able to slot in and do a good job; Wayne Routledge and Ben Watson proved this when they came on against Sheffield United in midweek.

Kember said: "Obviously the injuries are a blow but this gives others the opportunity to come in and show me what they can do. We've got a quality squad here and we have the players to fill the gaps."

Millwall's Paul Ifill and Abou Fofana face late fitness tests after overcoming injuries. Paul Robinson could start but David Livermore and Mark McCammon will miss out.
