CHECKATRADE TROPHY PREVIEW | Swansea U21 v Charlton

Charlton travel to Wales to face Swansea U21s on Tuesday night looking to book a place in the last 16 of the Checkatrade Trophy (7pm).

The Addicks finished second in their group, despite winning two of their three matches, so have to play away from The Valley.

Karl Robinson has used the competition as an opportunity to give fringe players and those who need minutes after injury games and has indicated he will continue this policy.

Swansea U21s beat Forest Green, Newport County and Cheltenham to win their group, and also reached the quarter-finals last year before losing to eventual winners Coventry City on penalties.

Robinson confirmed he is set to make a raft of changes for the match with his focus firmly on Saturday’s League One home match against Portsmouth.

Regan Charles-Cook is set to be recalled from his loan spell at Woking so he can play, with Anfernee Dijksteel, Joe Aribo and Karlan Ahearne-Grant also likely to feature.

Jason Pearce and Harry Lennon could make their return from injuries, with both pencilled in to play 45 minutes.
