Femi Azeez ruled out of Millwall vs Norwich clash with hamstring strain

Millwall manager Alex Neil confirmed that Nigeria international winger Femi Azeez will miss Saturday’s Championship home clash against Norwich City due to a hamstring strain. Azeez started Millwall’s 2-0 win at Bristol City last weekend but was forced off before halftime with discomfort. Neil said the strain is not significant but too soon for Azeez to risk, quoting him as saying, "He’s got a slight strain, which is not significant, but it’s going to be a little bit too soon for Fem," per BBC.

The absence removes a key attacking option for Millwall, who recently secured a victory at Bristol City. Azeez, named in the Sky Bet Championship Team of the Season last term, has been a regular contributor this season. His injury adds to Millwall’s fitness concerns ahead of a busy fixture list.

For Nigerian fans following Azeez’s progress abroad, the update means adjusting expectations for his involvement in the match and monitoring his recovery timeline. Will Millwall’s attack miss his creativity, or can other players step up in his absence?
