Charlton vs Oxford preview
Monday 22 October 2018 16:33, UK
Charlton could be without defender Krystian Bielik for their clash with Oxford.
Bielik, on loan from Arsenal, went off with cramp in the closing stages of the 2-0 victory over Barnsley at the weekend and will be assessed.
Striker Igor Vetokele looks set to miss Tuesday's match after he picked up a knock in training. Tariqe Fosu is among those who could be in line for a start after coming off the bench on Saturday.
Shandon Baptiste is likely to miss out for Oxford. The midfielder left the field after 41 minutes against Bristol Rovers on Saturday, with boss Karl Robinson later confirming he had a shoulder problem.
Jonathan Obika faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a knee injury he suffered against Plymouth last week. Sam Smith, Jamie Hanson and Samir Carruthers are all pushing for starting berths.
