Lewis Page’s injury does not look good, according to Charlton caretaker manager Lee Bowyer.
The defender had to be stretchered off in the 50th minute of the Addicks 1-0 win over Blackburn after trying to block Richie Smallwood’s shot.
Page, who has been plagued by injuries since signing for Charlton last year, is likely to miss the trip to Rochdale next weekend.
Bowyer told News Shopper: “He’s got a gash just above his knee - it doesn't look good. It’s one of those things, it happens in football.

“I just feel sorry for the lad because he’s not had much luck since he’s been here.
“He started to put a run of games together so I feel sorry for him.
“He went to block the shot and then it’s a collision. Two players were sliding in to try to make a block and it must’ve been a stud that’s given him the gash.”
