Millwall v Plymouth Argyle preview: Hosts missing Shaun Hutchinson
Wednesday 29 August 2018 20:23, UK
Millwall will be without defender Shaun Hutchinson for Wednesday night's Carabao Cup second-round clash with Plymouth Argyle.
Hutchinson has a knee injury and will be out for the "foreseeable future", according to boss Neil Harris.
Byron Webster is set to start after being on the bench in the 1-0 defeat at Rotherham on Sunday, but record-signing Tom Bradshaw is cup-tied having featured for Barnsley in the first round.
George Saville missed out against the Millers with concussion and his future is in doubt following links of a move to Middlesbrough, while Jem Karacan is still struggling for fitness after recently joining the club.
Meanwhile, Argyle will hand a debut to midfielder Stuart O'Keefe.
O'Keefe joined on loan from Cardiff on Friday, but did not sign in time to play in Saturday's game with Peterborough, which the Pilgrims lost 5-1.
Boss Derek Adams might consider changes in the wake of that harrowing loss, where five different players played in central defence.
Ruben Lameiras will be hoping for a recall after missing out against Posh.
