Charlton manager Karl Robinson says none of his players will go out on loan this month.
And that stance will only change if the club manages to land their transfer targets.
The likes of Dillon Phillips, Joe Aribo and Karlan Ahearne-Grant have had limited playing time this season.

Robinson said: “There will be no one going out on loan until we get players in - and they are being told that today.
“Why? Why let a Josh [Magennis] go on loan? Why let a Karlan go on loan if you're not too sure what you can bring in?
“Right now, we’ve got one fit striker in the whole building. One fit striker.”
