Team news ahead of Saturday's Sky Bet Championship clash between Charlton and Brighton.

Charlton manager Jose Riga could look to freshen up his relegated side for the visit of promotion-chasing Brighton.

The Addicks were consigned to League One after drawing 0-0 at Bolton on Tuesday night, where Riga had made five changes.

Holding midfielder Ahmed Kashi could come back into the side having been an unused substitute, but on-loan Arsenal forward Yaya Sanogo is doubtful with a hamstring problem, as is Iran frontman Reza Ghoochannejhad.

Goalkeeper Stephen Henderson has been carrying a calf strain, so will be assessed along with midfielder Johann Berg Gudmundsson (groin), while Cristian Ceballos has an ankle injury.

Brighton manager Chris Hughton must decide whether to change a winning side after naming an unchanged starting XI for the midweek 4-0 win over QPR.

Striker Sam Baldock, fit again from a hamstring problem, came off the bench for the second half and is pressing for a recall.
