Charlton v Bolton Wanderers

CHARLTON go into Saturday's game against Bolton at The Valley without their top-scorer Shaun Bartlett, who could miss the rest of the season through injury.

Bartlett tweaked his knee cartilage during the 4-2 defeat against Portsmouth at the weekend and the club are awaiting the reults of a scan to determine the extent of the injury.

But manager Alan Curbishley confessed that the early prognosis was not good.

He said: "Shaun is in trouble because it looks as though he has nicked a cartilage. Every time he gets himself right, he suffers a setback and can’t get a run of games under his belt."

Midfielder Radostin Kishishev is expected to be fit to face Bolton after breaking his nose at Portsmouth.

Centre back Chris Perry and skipper Matt Holland are also both expected to recover from knocks picked up at Fratton Park in time for the match.

Curbishley has called on his side to tighten defensively and start producing clean sheets after conceding 10 goals in three games.
