Fulham manager Slavisa Jokanovic does not appear to have any fresh selection concerns ahead of the trip to The Den.
Midfielders Tom Cairney (foot) and Neeskens Kebano (ankle) are unlikely to return from injury.
Defender Tim Ream is back in training after a thigh injury and could come into contention. Floyd Ayite, Aboubakar Kamara and Rui Fonte are among the players hoping for rare starts.
Millwall midfielder Ryan Tunnicliffe is a doubt to face former club Fulham in the Carabao Cup.
Tunnicliffe has missed the last two Lions games due to a broken toe having initially played through the pain barrier.
On-loan Sheffield United player Ryan Leonard is cup-tied against the Cottagers, with Jem Karacan in contention to come into Neil Harris' starting XI.
Defender Shaun Hutchinson remains sidelined due to a knee injury.
