Elland Road rush for Lions physio

Sat, 16 May 16:36:44 2009

Physio Bobby Bacic has described Millwall`s play-off second leg against Leeds at Elland Road as "one of the busiest matches I have been involved in".

Neil Harris is expected to return to training from a dead leg next week while Andy Frampton is also likely to take a full part in training following a heavy blow on the nose.

Gary Alexander was ill leading up to the encounter and will now rest ahead of the Wembley final, while Zak Whitbread has recovered from the collision which left him lying on the turf motionless.

Bacic, who thanked Leeds for their assistance with Whitbread, told the club`s official website: "He was doing the sensible thing and waiting to be assessed before moving.

"I asked the Leeds medical team to bring the spinal board onto the pitch as a precaution. We did not need it as Zak was okay."

Meanwhile, the Lions have been given an extra 12,000 tickets for the clash, taking the total allocation to 49,500.
