Charlton will check on Krystian Bielik ahead of the visit of leaders Luton.
The on-loan Arsenal midfielder missed Tuesday night's 1-0 win at Wycombe with an ankle injury. Lewis Page and Jake Forster-Caskey are back in full training following spells on the sidelines. Both players will be given run-outs for the under-23s before being considered for returns to the first team.
Luton will be without striker James Collins through suspension. Collins serves a one-match ban after he was sent off during last weekend's dramatic 2-2 draw at Blackpool.
Danny Hylton could step in up front if he can overcome a knee injury. Alan McCormack is battling a hamstring problem while Glen Rea and Dan Potts remain sidelined with knee injuries.
Charlton are unbeaten in their last seven home league encounters with Luton (W5 D2), although they haven't hosted the Hatters in the league since April 1996 when both sides were in the second tier.
Each of the last eight league games between Charlton and Luton have been decided by one-goal or fewer, Charlton winning four, Luton winning two and the other two games ending in a stalemate.
Charlton have kept clean sheets in each of their last four league games, they haven't kept five or more in a row since August 1998 (10 successive shutouts).
Luton have won five of their last six league away games (D1), conceding just two goals in this period, keeping four clean sheets.
Charlton's Lyle Taylor has been directly involved in 24 league goals this season (16 goals, 8 assists); only Luton's James Collins has had a hand in more (25; 22 goals, 3 assists).
