My educated guess, looks like it might be a LCL grade II so probably looking at around 5/6 weeks so maybe back in time for end of August.
@Sage, so frustrating for him. My rough guess is that it was less likely to occur if he was not playing out of position. A specialist RB usually knows when to ride a rough tackle on their preferred side.
Extremely frustrating but these injuries do happen. Not sure how much playing on the left actually impacts it, if at all, guess we’ll never know.
On the flip side, as much as it’s a shame to lose him for the start of the season, I was looking forward to him really starting strong, I’d rather if it was going to happen, it happens now where he has 2-3 weeks before the season starts than it happening mid-way through the season and missing 10-12 games. Now, he’s only going to miss probably 6?
According to my red bull fan mate (serious but I’m ten pints in ) he’s a decent enough player but just a bit too gobby , hence he fell out with their manager and ended up in their reserves .
for me , as with all Charlton players in the last few years , they are utter shit till proven otherwise and no amount of wanking off by the happy clappy brigade will mean anything till we’re out of This shithouse league
Be interesting to see how he gets into the team, I think the right back slot is Clare's to lose atm.
Unfortunately I suspect everyone will get plenty of game time this season
Some maybe more than others, but can see either everyone getting some kind of injury this season (Just depends how long they're out for), or they'll all be managed so well by Garner that the majority of players will be rested before they can be over worked and injured.

Last season Swindon had 8 players that featured in more than 30 league games. It would have been more if two weren't recalled from loan.
Bowyer, and not as extreme, Jackson seemed to play them until they broke, and they nearly all did. Adkins went the other way and left them out too often.
Anyone that can get 45 appearances, plus how ever many games he played for Wales out of Williams (that's 1 season btw 😀) must be doing something right.
I think with the 5 subs the starting 11 will settle down to about the same 13 or 14 players.
I doubt many of us have much clue as to what Egbo has to offer but he came into the club known to Garner and with a bit of an exciting reputation. Yes Clare has been excellent at right back and long May it continue but what a great position to be in where we have two good right backs pushing each other and giving BG the luxury of swapping things around. Been a while since we’ve had that and it’s happening in midfield too. Get that CB and striker in and I think we’re in for an exhilarating ride.

From a distance it looks like we have not improved in this area at all.

Remember Clare won't sustain this form for the entire season, but with competition, it can only help.
