Aswad Thomas could be handed the opportunity to stake a claim for a place in the Charlton side over the final two games of the season. The 18-year-old defender has been on loan at League Two Accrington, but he was forced to sit out their past three games while he served a suspension following his sending-off against Macclesfield last month.

But with Accrington finally banishing any fears of relegation and Addicks boss Alan Pardew now looking at his options for next season, Thomas is set to stay at the Valley and will push to make the squad for their games against Barnsley and Coventry.

Thomas made 13 appearances for Stanley, and scored two goals.
