Charlton boss Phil Parkinson has been boosted by a virtually full-strength squad ahead of the forthcoming festive schedule. An enforced break due to the wintry weather has given defender Gary Doherty and midfielders Jose Semedo and Lee Martin time to shake off knocks ahead of Thursday's FA Cup replay against Luton. "Quite a few players have been carrying niggles over the last few weeks so it's been good to be able to get those cleared up," said Parkinson. "Gary Doc, Semedo and Lee's injuries have cleared up so we are in good shape. "We've had a good run of games so it's nice to get a clean bill of health. We enter the next run of games in good spirits."
