League One leaders Charlton will be without on-loan midfielder Darel Russell for five of their last seven matches this season.

Russell has been hit with a four-match ban after he was sent off for kicking out at Antony Kay during Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Huddersfield. It was the 31-year-old's second red card since he joined Charlton, having already been dismissed against Sheffield United in January, meaning he is banned for one more than the usual three games for violent conduct. And on top of the suspension, Russell will also be ineligible to face his parent club Preston on the penulitmate weekend of the season.
