Millwall defender Byron Webster faces a race against time to be fit for Sunday's League One play-off final.

The centre-half limped off against Bradford in the semi-final second leg last Friday and could miss the Wembley showdown with Barnsley.

"Byron came off with a strained hamstring, so it's not ideal because he's been colossal for us," said Lions boss Neil Harris.

"It's going to be tough for him on Sunday, although we'll give him every chance to make it.

"If he doesn't we have Tony Craig, the club captain, or young Sid Nelson, who has performed really well this year. We have people who can step in admirably."

Harris, in his first full season in charge of the club for whom he is record goalscorer, expects a tough test against the Tykes.

However, he expects his side to give their all as they bid to bounce back to the Championship at the first attempt.

"We're in a privileged position, through a lot of hard work, we're there on merit and we want to win the game," he added.

"We're playing against a really good side, it will be a good game of football and we're looking forward to it."
