Conor Coady has four more matches as a Charlton Athletic player - starting with tomorrow’s crunch Championship fixture at Sheffield Wednesday.

The 33-year-old is set to be back in the Addicks squad for the high-stakes game in South Yorkshire after recovering from the concussion which saw him stretchered off in the 1-1 draw at Watford on Easter Monday.

Coady signed on loan from Wrexham at the end of January and his debut was the 2-0 victory at Leicester City.

His only defeat in his nine appearances came in the 3-1 loss to Portsmouth. He was an unused sub in the reverses to Norwich and Bristol City.

We touched on it in the South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition pod previewing the match at Hillsborough, but my feeling is that Coady’s wealth of experience - including being part of the England squad for Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup - will earn him a starting spot as Charlton look to gain the three points that should eradicate any drop fears.

The Merseyside-born player, who has been used in holding midfield as well as in the Charlton backline, still has 12 months to run on his contract with Wrexham.
