Town will be without Lee Martin, Damien Delaney, Pablo Couñago, Liam Trotter, Alan Quinn and Ben Thatcher when they travel to Charlton this evening (KO 7.45pm).

Martin suffered a hamstring problem in Saturday's game against Colchester, Delaney picked up a minor injury in training at Portman Road this morning and Trotter a knock against the U's.

Couñago is still not ready after hurting his groin early in pre-season training, Quinn isn't over his groin problem and Thatcher isn't fit enough for a return from the knee ligament injury he suffered at the end of last season.

Youngsters Ed Upson, Shane O'Connor and Troy Brown are amongst an 18-man squad which has travelled to the Valley.
