Andersen to debut for Charlton

Charlton manager Alan Curbishley handed a surprise debut to Denmark goalkeeper Stephan Andersen for this afternoon’s Barclays Premiership clash with Manchester United at The Valley.

The 24-year-old summer signing from AB Copenhagen replaced Dean Kiely, with Paul Konchesky slotting in at left-back following his return from suspension, as Herman Hreidarsson is out injured for the rest of the season.
