 Millwall goalkeeper David Forde's finger injury not serious

Millwall goalkeeper David Forde will return to training later this week despite dislocating his finger at the weekend, the club have said.

The Irish shot-stopper suffered the injury towards the end of Saturday's defeat at Barnsley and had to have his little finger popped back into place on the pitch.

Millwall physio Bobby Bacic told the club's official website: "Luckily he managed to remain very calm and allow the finger to be relocated on the pitch, which is a very painful procedure.

"In a way it adds further insult to injury as it is just as painful as the original force needed to dislocate the finger in the first place."

The Lions' defeat now means that they are just one point above the Championship's bottom three.
