Holland back for Addicks

Matt Holland returns to the Charlton squad for tomorrow’s Premiership clash with Alan Pardew’s former club Reading at The Valley.

The midfielder was rested from Friday’s draw with Manchester City but could miss out again as Pardew ponders whether to stick with the side which eased the Addicks out of the drop zone for the first time since September.

Ben Thatcher and Bryan Hughes could also be involved after recent absneces as Charlton look to extend their unbeaten run to seven matches.

Provisional squad: Carson, Randolph, Young, El Karkouri, Diawara, Thatcher, Hreidarsson, Zheng, Song, Faye, Holland, Hughes, Ambrose, Thomas, Rommedahl, Marcus Bent, Darren Bent, Lisbie, Bougherra.
