Jones confirmed in his pre-game press conference that Michael Hector (hamstring) and Chuks Aneke (hamstring) are both progressing well, but Miles Leaburn (hamstring) remains sidelined for the Addicks.

The visitors will be without Lewis Montsma (knee) and Jack Burroughs (ankle), though Alex Mitchell is available again having served a one-match suspension. Ethan Hamilton (knee) and Freddie Draper (ankle) could also return after missing out on Saturday.

THE OPPOSITION

Lincoln currently sit 10th in the Sky Bet League One standings and travel to the capital enjoying a five-game unbeaten run that has also included three clean sheets.
