Millwall Football Club has begun their pre-season preparations with several injured players returning to training. The Lions, who finished 3rd in the Championship with 83 points and a recent form of LDWDW, saw players like Lukas Jensen and Caleb Taylor back on the pitch.

What happened?

The majority of the squad was present at Calmont Road on Monday, with only Femi Azeez, Mihailo Ivanovic, and Max Crocombe absent after being given an additional week off following international duty.

Why it matters for Millwall Football Club

New signings Tairyk Arconte and Jenson Metcalfe were present after completing moves from Rodez AF and Bradford City, respectively, earlier this month. Billy Mitchell was not seen in any of the Lions’ social media posts, and his contract is due to expire at the end of the month.

What comes next?

Barry Bannan was also not seen in any of the club’s social media posts, and looks increasingly likely to return to Sheffield Wednesday this summer. The Lions will be looking to build on their strong performance last season, where they scored 64 goals and conceded 49, resulting in a +15 goal difference. With 12 points behind leaders Coventry, Millwall Football Club will be aiming to close the gap and improve their standing in the Championship.
