Charlton will be seeking to end a winless streak of six when they face Wolves at The Valley on Monday.

This is probably the hardest fixture of all for professional footballers, coming just 48 hours after their last fixture.

Karel Fraeye will have to wrestle with a number of decisions before naming his team.

Wolves defeated Reading 1-0 at Molineux on Boxing Day, the goal coming from summer Charlton target, James Henry.

Neither Patrick Bauer, nor Johann Berg Gudmundsson are likely to be ready to return for this game.

Alou Diarra will miss out with the leg and ankle injuries he picked up at Ashton Gate, and it would be a risk to play Jordan Cousins, who fainted during the interval on Boxing Day.

It will be hard on Chris Solly’s knee to play again so soon after the Bristol City game, but the head coach may have little choice.

Left footed duo, Harry Lennon and Naby Sarr, are young and relatively inexperienced, but will probably be the only available senior central defensive pairing available. Ezri Konsa is likely to provide back up from the bench. Morgan Fox may complete the back line.

El-Hadji Ba had a good game on Saturday and could come in for Cousins as Johnnie Jackson’s partner.

Ricardo Vaz Te, Reza Ghoochannejhad and Ademola Lookman are the likely attacking midfield trio, with Simon Makienok being the focal point up front.

The Addicks may look like this:

Henderson; Solly, Sarr, Lennon, Fox; Ba, Jackson; Vaz Te, Ghoochannejhad, Lookman; Makienok.

Subs: Pope, Holmes-Dennis, Konsa, Muldoon, Charles-Cook, Moussa, Ahearne-Grant.

The referee will be Hertfordshire’s Keith Hill.

Despite grabbing a point at Ashton Gate, Charlton lost ground on Milton Keynes Dons and Rotherham who both won.

Fraeye will not want the gap to safety to stretch, but may have to wait a while longer for a win.
