Addicks missing Benson

11 March 2011 10:00
Charlton boss Chris Powell will be without striker Paul Benson when his side host Brentford. The eight-goal striker will begin a four-match ban after being shown his second red card of the season during Tuesday night's 2-0 defeat against MK Dons for a dangerous tackle on midfielder Stephen Gleeson. Top-scorer Bradley Wright-Phillips is likely to be restored to the starting line-up in Benson's place. On-loan left-back Matt Fry returned to the squad in midweek and is pushing for a starting berth, but centre-back Gary Doherty will remain sidelined with a hamstring problem. Midfielders Joe Anyinsah and Johnnie Jackson will also be missing with ankle and Achilles injuries respectively. Powell himself will serve a one-match touchline ban after being charged with misconduct by the FA following comments he made after last Saturday's 1-1 draw with Tranmere.
