🚨 Injury Blow: Millwall’s Jake Cooper Ruled Out of Coventry Clash with Serious Knee Injury

Millwall manager Alan Sheehan has confirmed that defender Jake Cooper will not feature in tonight’s clash against Coventry City after suffering a serious knee injury in their last outing.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference earlier today, Sheehan expressed his disappointment at losing such an important player at a crucial point in the season.

“It’s unfortunate that he won’t be available to play against Coventry City tonight; we lost him to injury in our last match,” the Millwall boss revealed.

The injury, described as a serious knee problem, is expected to keep Cooper sidelined for an extended period, although the club has yet to confirm a definitive timeline for his recovery.

Cooper’s absence is a significant setback for Millwall, who rely heavily on his defensive presence and leadership at the back. With the Lions already battling for consistency in the Championship, the timing of this injury could hardly be worse.

Sheehan admitted the squad will need to adapt quickly:

“Jake has been a rock for us in defence. We’ll have to make adjustments, but it’s now up to the rest of the team to step up in his absence.”

Millwall face a tough test against Coventry tonight, and fans will be hoping the side can rally together despite the loss of one of their most dependable players.
