TEAM NEWS

The Addicks will assess the availability of Panutche Camará (foot), Miles Leaburn (ankle) and Chuks Aneke (calf), though Scott Fraser (calf) will miss out.

Saturday's clash comes too soon for deadline-day signings Tennai Watson, Louie Watson, James Abankwah and Slobodan Tedić.

The visitors will be without Jay Lynch and Josh Earl, both of whom were shown red cards in the Cod Army's last outing.

THE OPPOSITION

Since their opening-day draw at Carlisle United, Fleetwood have suffered defeats against Cambridge United, Bolton Wanderers, Derby County and Shrewsbury Town.

Those results leave Scott Brown’s side sat 23rd in the Sky Bet League One standings, above Cheltenham Town on goal difference.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Charlton and Fleetwood have clashed on 12 previous occasions with the Addicks winning four, the Cod Army two and the remaining six meetings producing draws.

Fleetwood’s last trip to SE7 saw the visitors claim a 2-1 triumph thanks to goals from Shaun Rooney and Harrison Holgate.

MATCH OFFICIALS

Carl Brook will be the man in the middle for Saturday’s fixture. The official last took charge of a Charlton match in April 2023 - a 3-2 win over Port Vale at The Valley.

Brook will be assisted by David Harrison and Andy Bennett, while Kevin Howick is the Fourth Official.
