Conor McLaughlin will come back into Fleetwood's team to face Charlton after international duty.

The full-back impressed in the Czech Republic on Sunday as Northern Ireland drew 0-0 and he will be restored to a side that has kept three successive clean sheets.

His spot has been guaranteed by manager Uwe Rosler, who reported fellow right-back Michael Duckworth only returned to training on Thursday having sustained a knock.

Deadline-day signing Alex Jakubiak should be part of the squad having agreed a move from Watford.

Lee Novak could return to action for Charlton after the striker resumed training following a broken hand.

Long-serving midfielder Johnnie Jackson is a doubt but winger Ricky Holmes is back in contention after recovering from a bruised foot.

Boss Russell Slade can also add new signings Adam Chicksen and Fredrik Ulvestad to his squad.

Former Brighton and MK Dons full-back Chicksen arrived as a free agent last week and Norwegian midfielder Ulvestad joined on loan from Burnley.
