Sheffield United vs Charlton Athletic injury news as 4 ruled out

All the latest injury news surrounding Charlton Athletic and Sheffield United ahead of their Championship clash.

Charlton Athletic are back in action on Saturday when they take on a Sheffield United side that has endured a rotten start to the season. The Blades sacked Ruben Selles this week, with Chris Wider brought back to the club again after just three months.

The Addicks head into this one on the back of a derby draw with Millwall last week, and they now have five points from as many games, with more wins required if Nathan Jones’ men are to avoid trouble. Here we round up all the latest injury news surrounding both sides heading into this one.

Ollie Arblaster - Out

Arblaster has suffered a setback in his recovery from an ACL injury. Selles said before his departure: “There has been some set back some weeks ago where it has delayed his moment to join the team at least for another month-and-a-half, two months," Selles told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"With those ACL injuries, there's always something more. The first thing we need to address is that he's back training with the team but healthy, then probably we need to test him in some under-21 games and then he will be able to come back. Hopefully it will be earlier than Christmas but I don't want to speculate. It was supposed to be in August, then September and now it's November."

Tom Davies - Doubt

Davies returned to full training this week and is said to have a chance of playing some sort of part here, tough he will still be an outside bet.

Jamie Shackelton - Out

Shackelton remains out with a foot injury. It’s believed the defender will be out until some time in October.

Matty Godden - Out

Godden is yet to return from a small knee surgery Jones confirmed in early August: “He has had a minor procedure which has kept him out.” He is unlikely to return just yet, with a return more likely in the next couple of weeks.
