Charlton boss Karl Robinson has confirmed Lee Novak and Johnnie Jackson will replace absent duo Josh Magennis and Jay Dasilva for the Oldham clash on Saturday.
Magennis and Dasilva are away on international duty with Northern Ireland and England’s Under-20s, respectively.
Novak is a straight swap for Magennis, while Jackson will have to play at left-back as Lewis Page continues his recovery from a serious hamstring injury.
When asked if Novak and Jackson would fill in for Magennis and Dasilva, Robinson told News Shopper: “Yes - I made that decision when I knew the players were not eligible.

“So, it’s all we've got left. It’s a natural one in some ways.”
Jackson, who has played as a full-back in competitive games for Charlton in the past, featured there during pre-season.
Meanwhile, Novak will have a second chance to stake his claim for a first-team place after being sent off just six minutes into the opening day win over Bristol Rovers.
