Millwall boss Alex Neil has said Japhet Tanganga could return on Monday against Norwich City.
Millwall have been without the defender for their past couple of matches against Sheffield United and Middlesbrough. He has broken a bone in his hand and has had surgery.
Tanganga, 26, has made 40 appearances in all competitions this season, 37 of which have come in the Championship, and he has chipped in with two goals from the back. He is under contract at The Den until the summer of 2026.
In this latest update regarding his condition, Neil has said, as per a report by NewsAtDen: “It’ll be based around Japhet and his surgery, in terms of we’re going get a splint round his wrist. So I think we’re going to try and get one fitted for him. It depends if the surgeon thinks he can play, it’ll depend on how safe and comfortable it is for him to play. I’m not sure about Blackburn, but depending on how that meeting goes, he may be in contention for Norwich.”
Millwall are sat in 9th place in the table with only four fixtures left to play. They are three points off the play-offs behind Coventry City.
