Cameron Brannagan – Calf
Skipper Cameron Brannagan is another to miss the trip to the Valley, with the midfielder still recovering from a calf injury.

Charlton Injury News
Amari’i Bell – Muscle
Defender Amari’i Bell was forced off in Charlton’s draw against Swansea back in November. He did return against league leaders Coventry but was again replaced after just 30 minutes.
Reece Burke – Foot
Fellow defender Reece Burke was also forced off against the Swans. The 29-year-old has managed just eight league appearances since his move from Luton in the summer.
Charlie Kelman – Hamstring
Striker Charlie Kelman has been absent since picking up a hamstring in that game against Swansea. Last season’s top scorer for Leyton Orient has yet to get going for Charlton.
Josh Edwards – Ankle
In mid-October, former Dunfermline Athletic full-back Josh Edwards underwent surgery on an ankle injury. He is working his way back to full fitness, with the surgery having reportedly sped up the process, but he remains sidelined.
Matty Godden – Knee
Last season’s top scorer for the Addicks is also missing with a knee injury. Matt Godden required surgery as a result and has yet to feature this season.
