Bauer and Taylor return from suspension for Charlton against Blackpool

Posted Friday, February 15, 2019 by PA

Charlton will have defender Patrick Bauer and forward Lyle Taylor available again following their suspension for the Sky Bet League One match against Blackpool.

On-loan Arsenal defender Krystian Bielik starts his own two-game ban following a 10th yellow card in last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Southend.

Midfielder Joe Aribo has resumed full training following a knee problem so will come back into the squad.

Defender Jason Pearce continues his recovery from a foot injury and is set for a run-out with the under-23s as he targets a first-team return.

Blackpool boss Terry McPhillips has seen his selection problems grow following injuries to Marc Bola and Matty Virtue during the midweek draw at Sunderland.

Defender Bola hobbled off with hamstring trouble, while midfielder Virtue, signed from Liverpool, was also substituted late on because of an unspecified fitness problem.

Australian defender Donervon Daniels picked up a knock ahead of the match, joining captain Jay Spearing (knee) in a packed treatment room.

Midfielder Callum Guy (ankle) also continues his recovery, while Jimmy Ryan (knee) and Max Clayton (hamstring) are long-term absentees.
