Karl Robinson says Ezri Konsa will play against Blackpool amid his uncertain Charlton future.
The club is yet to receive any bids for the young defender, who has been watched by Everton and Arsenal this season.
Valley boss Robinson said: “If he goes I’d be making sure he gets kicked right back! There are going to be a number of different clubs chasing Ez.
“In the last five games, he's been outstanding in his performance levels. There will be a lot of people circling round - he’s young and English.
“He’s got an amazing future ahead of him so we’ll see. As we sit here right now, we haven't had any bids. It’s not like we’re fending off bids and saying ‘no’.
“It’s something I haven't got involved with, my job is football. So that’s all I know.
“I’m confident he’ll be playing on Saturday. So in this world, that’s a real long time to look forward in this transfer window. Every hour seems like a day and every day seems like a week.”
