Options in attack: Charlton Athletic team news and predicted XI to face Wigan Athletic

Here’s the latest team update for Charlton Athletic as they prepare to take on Wigan Athletic in League One under the guidance of manager Nathan Jones. Michael Appleton named Head Coach | Charlton Athletic Football Club

 

Charlton Athletic currently holds the 16th position in the League One table and has shown consistent form in recent matches. In their last outing, they secured a 2-1 victory against promotion contenders Barnsley at home, with striker Alfie May netting two goals at The Valley. Good news for Charlton fans as Chuks Aneke is back in action after injury and made a substitute appearance against Barnsley. Additionally, Kayne Ramsay returned to the starting lineup, providing a boost to the team.

However, Lloyd Jones and Connor Wickham remain sidelined, and striker Miles Leaburn is also out of contention.

The expected starting XI includes Harry Isted in goal, Ramsay, Thomas, Hector, and Gillesphey in defense, with Small, Coventry, Dobson, and Anderson in midfield. May and Kanu are anticipated to lead the attack.

Harry Isted has assumed the goalkeeper position, replacing Ashley Maynard-Brewer since Jones took over as manager.

Ramsay, a recent addition to Charlton from Southampton, featured against Barnsley, and his availability for more playing time against Wigan is promising. Thierry Small, who joined Charlton during the winter transfer window, has made a positive impact playing as a left wing-back.

In defense, Macaulay Gillesphey, Michael Hector, and Terell Thomas are likely to retain their spots in the starting lineup. However, Thomas’s contract is set to expire this summer, making him a potential free agent by late June.

Conor Coventry, Karoy Anderson, and George Dobson have been consistent performers for Charlton recently, with Tyreeq Bakinson providing support from the bench.

Charlton boasts a plethora of attacking options, with Dan Kanu and May expected to lead the line against Wigan. Freddie Ladapo and Aneke are also available for selection, providing additional depth in the attacking department.
