Hide AdChampionship boss on loan pair
Millwall boss Gary Rowett has said he doesn’t treat Charlie Cresswell or Jamie Shackleton any differently from the rest of his squad.
This comes after speculation that the Whites could impose financial penalties on the Lions if they don’t play.
Rowett has said, as per the South London Press:

But from my perspective, Cressy and Shacks [Jamie Shackleton] – any players that come from Premier League clubs on loan – they are part of what we’re doing. We try and treat them exactly the same as any other player that is in our group.
“I wouldn’t pick the team based on any financial penalties.
“If you’re a Premier League club loaning to a Championship club, you want your player to play at least a decent amount of minutes. It’s probably more a case of that.”
