Santiago Gimenez announced his own injury, and there have been several questions asked as a result of the AC Milan striker's post.

We showed a gritty and determined nature to us today, and I think that was important. You have to do that here at Millwall because they're a good side and it's a really difficult place to come -- I've managed here many times and I've played here, and you've got to be stand up and be counted. Every single player, everybody who's on the coach, has got to do their bit to make sure you give yourself the best chance of getting a result.
