MATCH PREVIEW | Bristol Rovers v Charlton

Todd Kane (hamstring) got a valuable 60 minutes under his belt in the U21s' London Senior Cup triumph at Welling United in midweek, though Sean Clare will be assessed having limped off last weekend.

Lucas Ness (knee), Corey Blackett-Taylor (hamstring) and Chuks Aneke (hamstring) remain sidelined for the Addicks.

Bristol Rovers will be without Josh Grant (knee), Paul Coutts (knee), Jordan Rossiter (knee) and Harry Anderson (groin), while Liverpool loanee Jarrell Quansah is suspended having been sent off in the hosts' last outing.

Bristol Rovers currently sit 15th in the Sky Bet League One table, seven points and three places below the Addicks.

Joey Barton's side haven't played since March 18th owing to the international break and Plymouth Argyle's participation in the Papa John's Trophy final last Sunday.

The Pirates suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Portsmouth last time out. 

Charlton and Bristol Rovers have faced each other on 67 occasions with the Addicks winning 25, Rovers 23 and the remaining 19 clashes producing draws.

Rovers claimed a 2-1 win in the reverse fixture in December when John Marquis' second-half double cancelled out Ryan Inniss' opener.

Simon Mather will oversee proceedings on Friday. The official last refereed a Charlton fixture in September 2022 - a 1-1 draw at Fleetwood Town.

Mather will be assisted by Darren Wilding and Scott Williams, while Scott Tallis is the Fourth Official.

The Addicks will be sporting their home kit in Bristol.

Tickets for Friday's trip to Bristol Rovers have now sold out.
