Millwall boss Alex Neil makes this unbelievable statement about the game against West Ham on Saturday — this is what he said.

Millwall boss Alex Neil has admitted that his side are facing a demanding period as they prepare to take on West Ham at the weekend.

The Lions have been working through a busy schedule, with the physical demands beginning to take their toll on several members of Neil’s squad.

The manager acknowledged that a number of his players are struggling with fatigue ahead of another important fixture.

With West Ham awaiting them, Neil knows his team will need to manage their energy carefully if they are to produce a strong performance.

The meeting promises to be another difficult test for Millwall, particularly with several players already feeling the effects of a packed run of matches.

Speaking ahead of the weekend clash, Neil highlighted the condition of his squad and admitted that some of his players are being pushed to their limits.

“We’ve got West Ham at the weekend, and we’ve got a lot of lads running on empty.”

The Millwall manager will now have to assess his squad before deciding how best to approach the game.

Rotation could become an important factor, with Neil potentially needing to make changes to keep his players fresh.

West Ham will arrive determined to continue their own strong start, but Millwall will hope their manager can find a way to overcome the fatigue concerns and ensure his side are ready for another demanding Championship contest.
