Lyle Taylor still sidelined for Charlton

Posted Thursday, October 17, 2019 by PA

Charlton will again be without top scorer Lyle Taylor for the Sky Bet Championship match against Derby.

Montserrat international Taylor has missed the Addicks’ last five matches with a knee ligament problem but is expected to soon resume light training.

Defender Lewis Page continues his recovery from a pre-season ankle problem, while Israel forward Tomer Hemed (thigh) and midfielder Beram Kayal (groin) are also both sidelined.

Charlton manager Lee Bowyer will start a three-match touchline ban after admitting a misconduct charge over comments he made to the referee during and following the defeat at Swansea.

Derby boss Phillip Cocu expects to have both midfielder Krystian Bielik and defender Jayden Bogle available.

Poland international Bielik has shaken off a thigh problem, while Bogle, recently back from an ankle injury, had been forced to pull out of the England Under-20s squad.

Forward Jack Marriott remains a doubt with a groin problem while midfielders Tom Huddlestone (hamstring) and George Evans (thigh) continue their recovery.

Defender Richard Keogh (knee) and midfielder Ikechi Anya (calf) also remain sidelined.
