Charlton v West Brom

KELLY YOUGA stands by to go straight into Charlton's team for Saturday's FA Cup third round home tie against Championship promotion rivals West Bromwich Albion.

The 22-year-old former Lyon left-back, who was recalled from his six-month loan spell with Scunthorpe this week, looks set to replace veteran defender Chris Powell.

Manager Alan Pardew said: "Kelly has done very well at Scunthorpe and I want to have a look at him to see where he's at.

"Chris Powell was not meant to play this many games. But with Ben Thatcher, Cory Gibbs and Grant Basey being injured and ill, we've had a problem at left-back.

"Kelly will figure in Saturday's squad but it may be a little too early for Grant Basey, who has only just returned to training after illness."
