Charlton Athletic vs Watford preview - Gudmundsson worry for Addicks

Johann Berg Gudmundsson is an injury doubt for Charlton ahead of the visit of Watford.

The midfielder was forced to miss Iceland's midweek win over Turkey due to a groin problem and he will be assessed by Addicks boss Bob Peeters ahead of kick-off.

Peeters has an otherwise fully-fit squad although striker Igor Vetokele, the Championship's player of the month for August, was not due to train until Friday following a nine-hour flight from international duty with Angola.

Peeters on Thursday allowed young forward Joe Pigott to join Newport on loan.

Watford will be without Gabriel Tamas and Gianni Munari for Oscar Garcia's first match in charge.

Defender Tamas serves a one-match ban after he was sent off during the 4-2 win over Huddersfield a fortnight ago, and midfielder Munari is sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

Garcia, who has replaced Beppe Sannino as Hornets boss, will hand a late fitness check to striker Fernando Forestieri, who is also carrying a hamstring problem.

Centre-half Craig Cathcart could be involved for the first time this season following a knee problem.
