Charlton without Jason Pearce

Protector Jason Pearce will be missing for Charlton’s Sky Bet League One meeting against Oldham. The 30-year-old was relied upon to restore this end of the week following knee damage yet has endured a mishap and will be out of activity for the following fortnight.

Naby Sarr and Harry Lennon may require resting, while Chris Solly, Tariqe Fosu and Billy Clarke all remain sidelined. The Addicks are without a triumph from their last eight alliance excursions. Patrick McEleney could make his Oldham make a big appearance at The Valley.

The ex-Dundalk forward, who has not played for a month and a half, finished his switch this month and Latics are offering to guarantee his enrollment archives are finished so as to enable him to play. Jack Byrne and Kean Bryan will both need to leave Richie Wellens’ beginning line-up having come back to their parent clubs from credit spells.
