Lions axe trio

By Simon Fudge

Millwall have released three players from their squad following the end of their season at The New Den.

French winger Aboubacar Fofana and the striking duo of Cherno Samba and Alex Tiesse have all been shown he door by the Division One club.

Fofana, 21, was signed on a year-long loan from Italian giants Juventus last summer following a successful trial with The Lions.

He made nine starts for the South East London club this past season, but player-manager Dennis Wise has decided not to keep the youngster at Millwall for next term.

Fofana joins Samba and Tiesse in leaving the First Division side after the pair failed to make a breakthrough into the first team.

Meanwhile, The Lions have announced provisional plans for a pre-season to Vancouver, Canada in July.

Millwall have scheduled provisional friendlies against an all-star XI from the local Vancouver Metro Soccer League on July 11 in the Vancouver suburb of Coquitlam, British Columbia.

They have also arranged friendlies against Canada in Burnaby, B.C. on July 14 before facing Scottish Premier League side Hearts on July 17, also in Burnaby.
