Karoy Anderson was given a break, according to Nathan Jones, after being left off of the matchday roster for Charlton’s 0-0 draw with Stevenage today.
At the end of last month, the Jamaican international was overseas representing his nation in Concacaf Nations League matches against the United States and Panama.
The 19-year-old Anderson started Friday’s 1-1 draw against Exeter City, but Freddie Ladapo took his place after halftime.
When questioned about Anderson’s exclusion this afternoon, Charlton boss Jones responded, “Anderson is a young kid who has played six, seven, or eight games on the spin and been absolutely marvelous.” “He had to train in the intense heat of America before returning home.”
The previous day, he appeared really jaded. Give him some rest and some fresh air, and he will return.
Rarmani Edmonds-Green began in Macaulay Gillesphey’s position in the three-man backline, the second alteration made in January.
We made the decision because Gillesphey’s hamstrings were tight, according to Jones.
Connor Wickham, a former striker for Crystal Palace, was also not available.
Jones said, “He is closer than he was the other day.” “In order to give ourselves more alternatives, we aim to get all of these back by the weekend.
“We have only had 20 minutes with him, so it has been a frustrating one.”
