Shaun Hutchinson set to miss out for Lions

Millwall manager Neil Harris is likely to be without defender Shaun Hutchinson for the EFL Cup tie against Nottingham Forest with a recurring ankle injury.

Hutchinson missed the Lions' 2-1 win against Sheffield United after being forced off in the clash with Peterborough.

Winger David Worrall returned from injury to play the full 90 minutes against the Blades and will be available once again.

Shaun Williams is also back after recovering from a knock to the head he suffered against MK Dons to play against United, scoring the opening goal.

Forest boss Philippe Montanier will make changes and two of them look like being enforced due to injury.

Britt Assombalonga and Dan Fox both had to be withdrawn during the first half of the Championship win against Wigan on Saturday. Striker Assombalonga underwent a scan on his hamstring on Monday and the Reds are awaiting the results.

Damien Perquis is available again after suspension and he could return to the team while the likes of Matt Mills, Armand Traore, Eric Lichaj, Henri Lansbury, Jamie Ward, David Vaughan, Apostolos Vellios and Lars Veldwijk are all options for Montanier.

Montanier expects to sign a goalkeeper ahead of the trip to The Den but the new signing would not be involved in the second-round tie.
