Pre-match preview

Cardiff City

Rubin Colwill remains out for Cardiff City, the attacking midfielder limited to two starts in five matches by ongoing health problems. Dylan Lawlor has been given the all clear by Barry-Murphy after a muscle injury, though the manager will assess him before deciding whether he starts against Charlton Athletic. Will Fish is further away, roughly a week behind Lawlor in his own recovery from a hernia.

Krystian Bielik and Gabriel Osho are set to continue as Cardiff's centre-back pairing. Further forward, Cian Ashford has caught the eye without being a regular starter, scoring and setting up a goal in just two starts, most recently after coming on against Bolton Wanderers.

Charlton Athletic

Danny McNamara is expected to remain at right-back for Charlton despite struggling for form across his last four outings. Ivan Mesik is expected to start at left-back. In central defence, Tyler Bindon looks set to keep his place ahead of Amari'i Bell, though Bell played well on his one recent appearance there and missed out completely against Portsmouth.

Miles Leaburn is expected to continue up front after a groin problem forced a late fitness call before the Portsmouth game, while Charlie Kelman made his first appearance of the season having recovered from a pre-season shoulder injury. Joshua Edwards remains a doubt after an ankle injury and was set to feature for the Under-21s.
