Charlton short on numbers for Gillingham clash

Charlton still have significant injury problems ahead of Monday's League One clash with Gillingham.

Manager Karl Robinson will hope that Jake Forster-Caskey, Patrick Bauer and Leon Best could all return to the squad.

Ricky Holmes could push for a place in the starting line-up after making a substitute appearance in the goalless draw with Wigan but Harry Lennon is a doubt and Chris Solly, Jason Pearce, Tariqe Fosu and Billy Clarke all remain sidelined.

A point against the table toppers was a positive result but extended Charlton's winless run in the league to seven games.

Gillingham will check on captain Lee Martin, who missed Saturday's 2-2 draw against AFC Wimbledon through illness.

Striker Tom Eaves could come back into the side after 20-year-old Greg Cundle was handed a first league start.

Forward Liam Nash was among the substitutes following his recall from a loan spell at Leatherhead.

Midfielder Scott Wagstaff could be back in contention after his recent hamstring injury, but Billy Bingham remains sidelined as the midfielder continues his rehabilitation from a broken ankle.
