Millwall's winger Femi Azeez suffered a hamstring injury during their 2-0 Championship win against Bristol City on Saturday, according to PUNCH Sports Extra. Azeez entered the match at Ashton Gate Stadium but only played for 30 minutes before being replaced by Kyrell Lisbie due to discomfort in his hamstring. The severity of the injury has not yet been determined, with manager Alex Neil stating that the club needs to wait before assessing its extent.
Neil expressed optimism that the injury might not be serious, but acknowledged that many players are currently receiving treatment for various issues. Azeez, who had a notable 2025/26 season with 11 goals and seven assists in 37 league appearances, was named in the Championship Team of the Season and called up to the senior Nigeria team.
His performances earned him interest from Hull City, with the 25-year-old aiming for a Premier League move. Millwall now awaits further medical evaluation on Azeez's injury as they commence their season, hoping the setback will not be long-term.
