Patrick Bauer banned for Addicks against Preston

Charlton defender Patrick Bauer is suspended for the visit of fellow strugglers Preston.

The German centre-half serves a one-match ban after he was sent off during Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Reading - the Addicks' eighth game without a win.

Midfielder Cristian Ceballos and strikers Simon Makienok and Igor Vetokele remain sidelined for the hosts.

But goalkeeper Stephen Henderson could make his first appearance of the season in place of Nick Pope after recovering from a shoulder injury.

Preston manager Simon Grayson travels to London with defensive headaches.

Tom Clarke is a major doubt after picking up a shoulder problem in the 0-0 draw with Cardiff on Saturday, a game which Bailey Wright battled through despite suffering a knee injury on international duty with Australia.

Paul Huntington is rated "touch and go" by Grayson because of a calf strain that has kept him out since September 19, while Paddy McCarthy (knee) is definitely absent.

Winger Chris Humphrey (shin) is out for an extended period of time, as is Jermaine Beckford (knee), and while Joe Garner completes his three-match ban, Cardiff loanee Eoin Doyle is at least eligible again.
