Bent set for Addicks return

England squad striker Darren Bent is set to return to Charlton’s line-up for the first of two clashes with Blackburn this month.

The Addicks top scorer missed the game against Bolton due to illness but is expected to feature in this league encounter, with the sides also going head to head in the Carling Cup fourth round.

Shaun Bartlett (ankle) and Gonzalo Sorondo (hamstring) will miss out at Ewood Park.

Charlton (from): Andersen, Young, Perry, Hreidarsson, Spector, Rommedahl, Murphy, Kishishev, Smertin, Ambrose, Bothroyd, Kiely, Myhre, El Karkouri, Johansson, Holland.
