Millwall manager Gary Rowett has admitted that his side may not be able to retain the services of Jed Wallace beyond this month after three clubs, including Leeds United, were linked with moves for the midfielder.
Marcelo Bielsa’s troops have found the going that little bit harder during their second season in the Premier League. With the side riddled with injuries, the Whites have won just four of their 19 games played so far.
