Charlton Athletic vs Wolves - Alou Diarra unlikely to be fit for Charlton against Wolves

Posted Sunday, December 27, 2015 by PA

Alou Diarra looks likely to miss Charlton's final game of 2015 against Wolves at The Valley.

Diarra limped off after 32 minutes of the 1-1 draw against Bristol City on Boxing Day and to recover in time for Monday appears a big ask.

"He got a kick in the leg and then another on his ankle. He overstretched it and it doesn't look so good at the moment," interim head coach Karel Fraeye told the club's official website.

Fellow defender Patrick Bauer missed out in Bristol due to an abdominal injury and he will be assessed.

Wolves boss Kenny Jackett has no new problems as Wanderers look to end the year with back-to-back wins.

The likes of Scott Golbourne, Jed Wallace, Nathan Byrne, Grant Holt and Adam Le Fondre are available should Jackett wish to change one or two things for a second game in three days.

Emi Martinez (thigh) and Kortney Hause (hamstring) remain out and are unlikely to feature until January.

Striker Nouha Dicko is not expected to play again this season following his serious knee injury in August.
