MARK Yeates will miss City's FA Cup third-round tie at Millwall on Saturday with a knee ligament strain.

The influential midfielder suffered the injury from a bad tackle during the Boxing Day win at Fleetwood. He had a scan on it yesterday.

Boss Phil Parkinson said: "It's good news that Mark's scan results came back with no major structural damage to the knee.

"However he has got a ligament strain which will rule him out for the weekend."
