Millwall boss Mark McGhee insists long-term injury victims Richard Sadlier and Tim Cahill will return in time to help the Lions make a late play-off push.

Sadlier has played just once this season because of an ongoing hip injury, while Cahill has been out since suffering a cruciate ligament injury in September.

But McGhee expects Sadlier back in training by the end of next week, and Cahill should also return to first-team action before the season run in.

"We expect Sadlier to train this month, and Cahill is about a month behind him. He will play before the end of the season," McGhee said.

"We have done phenomenally well without them, but if you put those two back in our team who knows where we'd be."
