Injury woe for Jacko

Johnnie Jackson has been ruled out for six weeks after tearing his hamstring against Stockport County last Saturday.

The left-sider, who joined the Addicks on loan from Notts County last month, limped off in the first half of the match against the Hatters at The Valley.

A specialist confirmed on Tuesday that Jackson would be sidelined for more than a month, leaving Charlton short of left-back options prior to this weekend's match against Millwall.

Grant Basey has been ruled out for the season with ankle ligament damage, while Kelly Youga is short of fitness following a troublesome knee complaint.

Addicks boss Phil Parkinson said: "Johnnie's out for six weeks. It's worse than we first feared. It's disappointing news for Johnnie and us. He's done very well for us in the short time he has been here, but his loan was due to end after the Millwall game anyway, and we'll move on."

Jackson's exit means Parkinson has a tough decision to make as to who fills in at left-back for Saturday's clash with the Lions, although Youga has returned to training this week.

"We've got a few options within the squad so we'll probably go with what we've got," added Parkinson. "Kelly is back in training and has made himself availabe but we'll assess everyone in training on Friday. Miguel Llera can play left-back as can Chris Solly. Chris is a very good player, he never lets anyone down."

Another player leaving the club is Elliot Omozusi. The defender spent time with the Addicks on loan from Fulham earlier this term and had continued training with Charlton, but Parkinson confirmed on Thursday: "Elliot is not with us anymore."

Meanwhile, Parkinson has revealed that he has had no further contact from any clubs about the possibility of taking Yassin Moutaouakil on loan from SE7.

"I've had no phone calls," added Parkinson. "Like I've said before, he's our highest wage earner by a long way. We've tried to regulate the wages this season and bring them down to a certain level. We have got a big wage bill but the ones who have come in are on levels the club can afford in this division."
