Gary Rowett unaware of financial penalties in loan deal for Leeds United defender as claim made

Millwall manager Gary Rowett has claimed he is unaware of any financial penalties imposed by Leeds United if Charlie Cresswell does not play. Cresswell joined the Championship side on a season-long-loan in the summer and has enjoyed a strong start to life at the Den.

The England U21 international has featured in all but two of Millwall’s 10 league matches in the first two months of the campaign, starting on seven occasions. Cresswell has scored three goals already for Rowett’s side but after a couple of errors was dropped to the bench for games against Norwich City and Reading.

According to the Athletic, Millwall did not pay a loan fee for Cresswell in the summer but will be imposed financial penalty clauses if he does not play the number of minutes Leeds want. Rowett, though, has insisted he is does not know of any potential clauses, and says he would not pick the team based on this anyway.
