Millwall boss claims Leeds United's Charlie Cresswell will 'benefit' from recent spell out of squad

Millwall boss Gary Rowett believes that Leeds United loanee Charlie Cresswell will benefit from his recent spell out of the Lions' squad. Cresswell was left out of the squad for four straight games, as Millwall collected 10 points from a possible 12.

His lack of playing time fuelled talk of a potential recall to Leeds in January but the England U21 international was restored to the bench for the visit of West Brom to The Den last weekend.

Cresswell replaced Shaun Hutchinson at the break after the Millwall captain was forced off with a hamstring injury. Millwall registered a fourth win on the bounce to climb into the Championship play-offs courtesy of Tyler Burey's 90th-minute winner against the Baggies.
