Millwall will welcome back defensive lynchpin Zak Whitbread for the FA Cup trip to Crewe Alexandra.

The Lions shipped two soft goals to the League One cellar club in the initial third round clash ten days ago, but may slot their stopper into the starting line-up after a 12-game absence.

The cancellation of the club's weekend fixture against Cheltenham means defenders Paul Robinson and Tony Craig are still serving suspensions. Jimmy Abdou, Preston Edwards and Chris Hackett are carrying injuries, while Adam Bolder and Karl Moore have left the club after completing their loan spells.

Dave Martin should return after serving a one-match ban.

Crewe are nursing injuries of their own, with Chris McCready, Kenny Lunt, Steven Schumacher and Danny Woodards unlikely to feature. But Julien Baudet and Billy Jones should return, as will Calvin Zola, Michael O'Connor and Eugen Bopp.
