Season over for injured Rotherham star Tiehi

ROTHERHAM United midfielder Christ Tiehi has announced that he will not play again this season due to a pelvic problem.

Tiehi, who joined the Millers for a then club record fee of £500,000 from Czech Republic side Slovan Liberec in the summer window, has made 37 appearances for the club in all competitions this term, scoring two goals.

Only Viktor Johansson has currently made more league starts in 2023-24 than former Ivory Coast Under-20 international Tiehi, who was born in Paris.

He missed the Millers' recent draw with Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield Town due to an pelvic injury, Leam Richardson revealed after the game.

Announcing that his season was over on his Instagram account, he said: “Unfortunately, my season has ended due to injury but I will come back stronger.”

Rotherham, whose relegation is likely to be confirmed shortly, visit Preston on Good Friday and welcome Millwall on Easter Monday. Several other Millers players are currently out of action including Lee Peltier, Grant Hall and Andre Green.

■ Scott McTominay insists it is “not all doom and gloom” as Scotland look to end a six-game winless run when they face Northern Ireland at Hampden Park tonight.

Steve Clarke’s squad are still smarting from the 4-0 friendly defeat against Netherlands in Amsterdam on Friday night, the first of four warm-up games ahead of this summer’s European Championship in Germany.

McTominay said: “It is not necessarily a bad thing.

“You can get complacent, too excited, ahead of yourself if you take your foot off the gas and sometimes a little kick in the teeth isn’t the worst thing in the world.”
