Billy Clarke set to start for Charlton in FA Cup replay against Mansfield
Posted Tuesday, November 20, 2018 by PA
Charlton forward Billy Clarke is set to start Tuesday’s FA Cup first-round replay against Mansfield as his comeback continues.
Clarke made his first appearance since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament last December when he came off the bench in the original tie, the 1-1 draw at the One Call Stadium on November 11.
He subsequently started last week’s 1-0 Checkatrade Trophy defeat against Swansea Under-23s and boss Lee Bowyer has confirmed he will be in the team again this time.
Bowyer, who made nine changes to his starting XI for the initial encounter, remains without Josh Cullen, Igor Vetokele (both shoulder), Ben Reeves (hamstring), Lewis Page (hip), Patrick Bauer and Jake Forster-Caskey (both knee).
Mansfield will assess Otis Khan ahead of the contest.
The midfielder has been nursing an Achilles problem and sat out the last six games in all competitions.
Alex MacDonald and David Mirfin are still sidelined, continuing their recoveries from knee injuries.
David Flitcroft’s Mansfield are fifth in Sky Bet League Two, while Charlton are sixth in League One.
