Mile Jedinak returned from injury overnight but there was no Tim Cahill return for Millwall, with his club boss stating he’s unlikely to play for a few weeks.
Firstly in England’s Championship, Jedinak was an 86th minute substitute in Aston Villa’s 1-0 win at Sheffield United.
The Socceroos skipper had missed Villa’s past three matches due to a thigh problem.
Meanwhile, Cahill wasn’t part of Millwall’s squad after his signing earlier this week as the Lions drew 0-0 with Derby County.
James Meredith put in a full shift for Millwall, whose boss Neil Harris revealed Cahill would need to bide his time for his much-anticipated return.
"He's not going to be fit for a couple of weeks," Harris said. "He's not done a lot in the last seven weeks since leaving Oz, so we're going to have to be patient with him.

"But bringing him in has given us a big lift. He brings great qualities to the dressing room as a man. He's played all around the world and he's great with the young lads.
"He wanted to come back and play for Millwall, he wanted to come back and play for me and he wants to lead. It's stirred the boys up, they are buzzing downstairs and they are going to thrive off having him around."
Elsewhere, Jackson Irvine played a full game as Hull City drew 0-0 with Leeds United.
In England’s Premier League, Aaron Mooy started and was replaced after 79 minutes in Huddersfield’s 3-0 home loss to Liverpool.
The Huddersfield Examiner rated Mooy’s display as an underwhelming 5/10, writing: “Passing wasn’t good enough on the day.”
