McGhee hit by injury crisis

Millwall manager Mark McGhee says he will have to bring in two new players on loan before the end of the week and needs three more after that because of a growing injury crisis.

McGhee was worried about the size of his squad with everyone fit but now looks set to lose midfielder Tim Cahill for several weeks after he injured his knee in Millwall's 1- 0 win against Brighton.

A further assessment is needed to establish the seriousness of his problem but striker Richard Sadlier, midfielder Steven Reid and defender Joe Dolan are already out with longterm injuries.

Striker Neil Harris is also likely to miss tomorrow night's Worthington Cup match at Rushden and Diamonds because of an ankle injury and reserve defender David Tuttle has a similar problem.

McGhee said: "We have got most of our best players out injured. Sadlier is arguably the best player in the First Division and we are having to do without him."
