Millwall suffer Neghli and Azeez injury setbacks
Camiel Neghli is Millwall's record signing

Millwall's record signing Camiel Neghli is set to spend at least the next six weeks out injured.
Lions boss Alex Neil has revealed the Algerian winger missed Tuesday's defeat by Bristol City after going off in the first half of their FA Cup exit at Crystal Palace at the weekend because of an ankle injury.
"It wasn't a case of freshening it up - Camiel's out injured and will be for probably the next six weeks potentially," Neil told BBC Radio London.
Neghli only joined Millwall from Sparta Rotterdam in January for a record fee in excess of the reported £2.8m they spent on Mihailo Ivanovic last summer.
Meanwhile Millwall are also assessing an injury to Femi Azeez after the forward had to be substituted at half-time in the loss to Bristol City.
"Femi came off with a hamstring (injury) and I thought in the first half he was our outlet but he couldn't continue and had to come off," added Neil.
Millwall visit Watford in the Championship on Saturday.
