Republic of Ireland international Richard Sadlier will be out of action for at least another three months as he must undergo a second hip operation. Sadlier has made just one appearance for Millwall this season, coming on as a substitute, because of the ongoing injury. He also missed out on the play-offs at the end of last season, which ruled out any hope he may have had of making Mick McCarthy's World Cup squad.
Last week he visited a specialist and was told he needs another operation to remove cartilage in his hip joint. He is scheduled to go under the knife next Tuesday. "I think it will be a while before I'm playing again. It's frustrating," he said.
