Addicks wait on Young

Charlton manager Alan Curbishley is waiting for a final decision on Luke Young’s hamstring problem before finalising his side for tomorrow’s Premiership visit to Sunderland.

If Young fails to make it, Curbishley expects to rely on the starting line-up which won 1-0 at West Brom on Wednesday.

Tahar El Khalej, the defender signed from Southampton until the end of the season, is likely to figure on the bench for his first home game.

PROVISIONAL SQUAD: Kiely, Kishishev, Rufus, Fish, Powell, Parker, Young, Euell, Jensen, Bartlett, Lisbie, Rachubka, Konchesky, El Khalej, Svensson, Fortune, Johansson, Bart-Williams.
