Colchester United vs Charlton Athletic - Roger Johnson and Diego Poyet could play after rejoining Charlton



Posted Friday, January 08, 2016 by PA

Charlton can hand second debuts to Roger Johnson and Diego Poyet against Colchester.

Defender Johnson, who had a spell at The Valley last season, has rejoined on an 18-month deal and midfielder Poyet is back on loan from West Ham.

The returning duo boost a Charlton squad beset by injuries to Ademola Lookman, Patrick Bauer, Alou Diarra, Igor Vetokele and Ahmed Kashi.

To add to their problems, Tareiq Holmes-Dennis is suspended following his red card in the 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest last weekend.

Colchester are expected to hand goalkeeper Jake Kean his debut after he signed on a month-long loan from Premier League Norwich.

Defender George Elokobi is a major doubt after picking up a hamstring injury in last weekend's 1-1 draw at Oldham, which ended a run of nine successive League One defeats.

New manager Kevin Keen could bring Alex Wynter in at centre-back, while Matthew Briggs (chest) will be assessed.

Midfielder Owen Garvan is pressing for a start, while veteran Darren Ambrose will be hoping to face his old club.
