Russell missing for Addicks

Leaders Charlton will be without Darel Russell when they head to Exeter.

The on-loan Preston midfielder came on as a late substitute during last weekend's 1-0 win over Sheffield United and promptly got himself sent off to earn a three-match ban.

Russell's absence could see a return to the squad for Dale Stephens, who has recently recovered from an ankle injury but was not risked on Saturday.

Boss Chris Powell has no new injury worries and may stick with the same starting XI which sent them seven points clear at the top of League One.

Striker Danny Haynes, the recent signing from Barnsley, made his debut from the bench against the Blades and is set to be among the substitutes again.
