Key player is set to return for Charlton Athletic against Wycombe Wanderers, according to team news and expected lineups.
The72 gives the most recent Charlton Athletic team information as Michael Appleton’s club prepares for their League One match against Wycombe Wanderers.
This Saturday, Charlton Athletic will play at home for the first time under Appleton’s leadership against Wycombe Wanderers. With a late penalty from Corey Blackett-Taylor, the Addicks drew their first match under the new manager to end in a 1-1 tie with Stevenage.
The South London team has had a difficult start to the season, but it is hoped that Appleton will help them recover their form and move up the league. Currently, Charlton is in 17th place after seven points in the same number of games.
However, they will face a challenging test against a Wycombe Wanderers team that is truly finding its rhythm. After a sluggish start, the Chairboys have won four of their last five games, including three straight, moving them up to ninth.
team news for Charlton Athletic
Alfie May will return, according to Appleton, who said as much to the media prior to the game. May missed the Stevenage tie due to a concussion he sustained in training. He’ll be aiming to increase his club’s League One goal total of four in six games.
Terry Taylor, though, remains uncertain due to his own head injury. He could miss out as a result of receiving a boot across the eye.
Additionally, Appleton provided updates on Panutche Camara, Nathan Asiimwe, and Scott Fraser. Fraser is currently the most likely to return of the three, but it appears that he, Asiimwe, and Camara will have to wait a little longer.
XI Isted in Predictions (GK)
Edun
Dobson
Anderson
C. Campbell
T. Campbell
May
Blackett-Taylor
As Appleton works out his best XI it wouldn’t be all that surprising if he opts to make some changes but, if he’s confident that he has already found his preferred lineup, it could be that he keeps a largely similar team to try and settle his squad after the change in management.
With that said, it could be that the returning May is the only change to the side, dropping Miles Leaburn back to the bench. Injuries mean that changes in midfield and attack feel unlikely.
The game kicks off at 15:00 on Saturday afternoon.
