Perry misses out for Addicks

Charlton are set to be without defender Chris Perry for tomorrow’s clash with Barclays Premiership leaders Chelsea at The Valley.

The centre-back was taken off at half-time during last weekend’s defeat at Manchester United, and could need surgery if it turns out he has a hernia problem.

Jonathan Fortune is ready to come into the starting XI, with young winger Jerome Thomas likely to feature again.

Dennis Rommedahl and Kevin Lisbie are both pushing for a recall to the squad, while defender Mark Fish remains doubtful as he recovers from a niggling knee problem.

Provisional Squad: Kiely, Andersen, Perry, Fish, Konchesky, Fortune, Hreidarsson, Murphy, El Karkouri, Stuart, Holland, Euell, Thomas, Johansson, Jeffers, Lisbie, Rommedahl, Hughes, Bartlett, Kishishev.
