Charlton midfielder Josh Cullen out until after Christmas

BY LOUIS MENDEZ

Josh Cullen is set to be out of action until after Christmas, as a scan has revealed he has suffered damaged ankle ligaments.

The West Ham loanee was withdrawn during Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Cardiff City at The Valley.

Addicks boss Lee Bowyer is suffering an injury crisis within his squad, with Cullen the latest set for a spell on the sidelines.

“Josh is going to be out a while, a fair while,” admitted Bowyer.

“Longer than Lyle, not the season, but he won’t be back before Christmas.He’s done his ligament, a few of them. It’s not good.”
