Millwall boss Gary Rowett admits holding onto Kenneth Zohore isn't up to them.
Zohore is on-loan with the Lions from Premier League outfit West Brom - with the deal to expire on January 16.
"In Ken's situation, there are two things. The first is whether West Brom will be interested in getting him back or whether he will stay here. He is their player and they dictate to some extent what is going to happen in mid-January," Rowett tells London News Online.
"We had hoped that he would be back this week, but it will probably not be until next week (due to injury). He's just a little behind schedule that our medical staff has set."
