Trio in line for Charlton debuts

Posted Thursday, October 15, 2020 by PA

Charlton could hand debuts to new signings Ryan Inniss, Omar Bogle and Chris Gunter in the League One match against Wigan.

Right-back Gunter, who left Reading at the end of the season, featured for Wales in the 3-0 friendly defeat by England at Wembley.

Centre-half Inniss completed a permanent switch to The Valley from Crystal Palace, while former Cardiff frontman Bogle could face one of his former clubs after signing a one-year deal.

Left-back Ian Maatsen, a Dutch youth international, has also arrived on a season-long loan from Chelsea, but defenders Deji Oshilaja (foot) and Jason Pearce (knee) are sidelined.

Wigan defenders Nathan Cameron and Adam Long are currently self-isolating after returning positive Covid-19 test results ahead of last Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Crewe.

Forward Joe Garner could return after missing the trip to Gresty Road following a concussion.

New signing Will Keane is on stand-by to deputise again having come straight into the side against Crewe after signing a short-term deal.

Midfielders Dan Gardner and Oliver Crankshaw are both options for manager John Sheridan after coming off the bench last weekend.
