Charlton defensive duo not ruled out of Forest Green Rovers match

Charlton manager Dean Holden has not ruled Matt Penney or Sean Clare out of being part of his squad for tomorrow night’s League One match at Forest Green Rovers.

Both players came off with injuries in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Fleetwood Town.

“In terms of what we have seen post game up until now, the guys are not as bad as it first feared,” said Holden, in his pre-match press conference earlier this afternoon.

“The two that came off – Sean Clare and Matt Penney – we’ll just have to assess how they go prior to Tuesday’s game. We’ll see where they are at tomorrow morning in terms of a little bit more recovery.

“If the game was to be played now they wouldn’t make it but there is more than 24 hours until the game, so we’ll look at them tomorrow.”

Charlton have appealed Ryan Inniss’ red card and are set to hear back from the FA today.

Miles Leaburn was not in the Addicks’ matchday 18 at the weekend.

“It’s really minor with Miles,” said Holden. “He did a little flick in training. It was a brilliant goal, I have to say. He just felt something at the top of his hip. It’s really very minor, we’ll monitor him over the next few days.”
