Charlton face injury crisis

Charlton manager Alan Curbishley is grateful his side have an extra day to prepare for their Premiership match against Fulham on Sunday after sustaining three injuries during the home defeat by Oxford, on penalties, in the Worthington Cup on Tuesday.

Midfielder Robbie Mustoe received a knock on his side that saw him miss the second half, goalkeeper Dean Kiely suffered a sore knee in a collision while defender Richard Rufus needed treatment during the game.

Curbishley is hopeful all three will be fit for the trip to Loftus Road as Charlton aim to hit back after the cup exit.

They have collected only one point from their last four matches and their only two victories this season have been away from home, at Bolton and West Ham.

PROVISIONAL SQUAD: Kiely, Kishishev, Rufus, Fish, Young, Euell, Jensen, Bartlett, Konchesky, Johansson, Fortune, Mustoe, Robinson, Rachubka, Bart-Williams, Brown, Svensson.
