Charlton manager Karl Robinson has revealed that Josh Magennis is one of a number of players to be nursing a minor knock after Tuesday’s 3-0 defeat to Wigan Athletic.
But the Addicks chief does not expect anybody to be missing for Saturday’s trip to Gillingham.
“We’ve got one or two knocks,” said Robinson. “We’ve got one or two bruises. Josh is one of those. We’ll see how he reacts.
“A few got little kicks and bruises but nothing that I can see affecting my decision [on team selection].”
Midfielder Ahmed Kashi, who ended 18 months out with an Achilles injury when he returned to first-team action this season, was replaced in the second half in midweek.
The Algerian international has been a fixture of the side this season.
“I took him off earlier because I knew he wouldn’t cope – the frequency of games we have at the moment it is the first time he has done that for two years,” said Robinson. “That is a long time.
“Chris Solly’s knee feels great.”
Ben Reeves is still working his way back to match fitness.
“He has been running this week,” explained Robinson. “His scan came back fine. There is no scar tissue anymore. I’m not saying he’s injured – I’m not saying he is fit.
“He has got a little tiny strain when he came back through not having a condition [missing the summer pre-season fitness schedule as he signed just before the League One campaign started].”
Only one question. Why is Robinson feeling Solly's knee?
3-0 Away win, Gills are in a rut and an early goal from the addicks starts the romp! COYR
Shit ground, went year we got beat in the FA Cup, Scotty Parker in the away end just as he was signing for Chelski. Hope the weather isnt too bad and their temp stand holds up
Just reading their forum they are all doom and gloom and fully expect to get beat. Because of that I'm going for a 3-1 to The Addicks ( Magennis , Fosu and Bauer )
After the chastening defeat and performance against Wigan, it's perhaps fortunate that our next 2 games are against Gillingham (bottom) and Bury (3rd bottom), a perfect opportunity to get the season on track again with 6 points
A clean sheet would be nice, we've let in 7 goals in our last 3 games which isn't good enough.
Crucial game for some fans. A win and Wigan will be treated as a blip, a defeat will be calling for heads to roll, a draw will produce a mix of opinions. Still a lot of games to play, I say.

Yeah good points here, including an illustration of how fickle football fans are. Already there's been a lot of talk before games of "if we win this we're title contenders." but there are 38 games to be played, and so far this looks like a league where pretty much anyone can beat anyone on any given day.
It will obviously be important to bounce back after Tuesday night, but we need to be cautious about treating every game as though it will make or break our season.
Also, I understand it'd a lot easier for me to say given I don't go to matches, don't pay for travel, tickets, etc.
We rarely lose at Gillingham but then we do not win very often either. Very bad feeling about this after the tired display on Tuesday. Hope for a win but think it might be a defeat. 2-0 to Gillingham and the worry begins.
Local derby ( for them ) so form goes completely out of window . We should win but even then it would be really edgy and nervy and we just don't seem to be able to cope with that on the whole . Not convinced by the Southend result that we can cope with closing a game out when we concede late as will probably happen again today .More likely to draw than lose although wouldn't rule that out at all . 1 - 1 most likely score with an away draw never being a bad result whatever the circumstances.

Expecting a poor quality, scrappy game. Hopefully a bit of class from Holmes or Clarke will prove the difference
