Pearce missing for Charlton

Charlton are without their captain Jason Pearce for Saturday’s League Two visit of Shrewsbury.

He is recovering from a knee injury, but is expected to be available again within the next three weeks.

In his absence, Naby Sarr is expected to start in central defence alongside Patrick Bauer.

Anfernee Dijksteel, who has had pneumonia, is also expected to again miss out but remains in contention to return in the Carabao Cup against MK Dons on August 14.

Shrewsbury’s squad has changed significantly since last week’s 1-0 home defeat to Bradford.

They have since signed Lee Angol, Oliver Norburn, Greg Docherty and Luke Waterfall, and all of them are in contention to feature.

Jon Nolan, Aristote Nsiala, Bryn Morris and Stefan Payne have left.

New manager John Askey will serve the final match of his touchline ban.
