Charlton Athletic

Will Mannion made his first start of the recent run in goal for the defeat to Bolton Wanderers, with Arthur Okonkwo not playing that day after four starts in the previous five matches. Zach Mitchell remains sidelined for the long term with a knee injury, and Collins Sichenje and Rob Apter are both out with knee problems of their own, while Matty Godden is doubtful because of a muscle issue.

Nathaniel Chalobah also made his first start of the recent run in that Bolton defeat, while Tyler Bindon did not play after starting earlier in the sequence. Jones' side have lost four of their last five league games.

Sheffield United

Femi Seriki is not yet ready to start, and United are expected to continue managing his minutes as he builds fitness after eight or nine weeks out. He came on for the final 32 minutes of the win at Preston. Kalvin Phillips, Patrick Bamford, Joe Rothwell and Adam Davies were assessed before that match and remain doubtful heading to Charlton. Jamie Shackleton, Matt Doherty and Ryan One are also unavailable.

Jaïro Riedewald was given his first start of the recent run at Preston before being replaced after 58 minutes, while Liam Kitching did not play after four starts in the previous five matches. At the back, Mark McGuinness has covered both right-back and the left side of central defence during this run.
