Danny Shittu: Millwall defender set to miss rest of the season
Last updated on .From the section Millwall
Championship strugglers Millwall are likely to be without defender Danny Shittu for the rest of the season.
The 33-year-old centre-back, who has made 23 appearances this campaign, sustained an Achilles injury in the 1-0 win at Derby County on 8 March.
"By the time Danny is due to recover he will be short of match fitness," Lions physio Bobby Bacic said.
"He is in a protective boot for another three weeks so he is limited in the specific fitness work he can do."
He added: "Even when he comes out of the boot he will be doing low-level loading for the following two weeks.
"Danny will effectively be ruled out for the rest of the season."
