Charlton v Cardiff. Match preview

Last updated : 21 April 2009 By Michael Morris

Jones looked on as his team lost 6-0 to Preston at the weekend - a result that all-but ended their automatic promotion hopes and put their place in the top six in jeopardy.

Kevin McNaughton (groin) is Jones' only injury doubt for the game.

But the Cardiff boss could be tempted into further changes with Michael Chopra hoping to start after coming off the bench on Saturday.

"One or two just took their eye off the ball a little bit and got a bit complacent," he said. "Everybody will travel and everybody will get an opportunity before the end of the season.

"Whether you just say to the others to go out and prove everybody wrong or you mix it and change it, I'm not sure. And I don't think anybody can argue if I change the whole lot because it was a poor performance."

Charlton duo Tresor Kandol and Darren Ambrose face late fitness checks.

On-loan Leeds striker Kandol missed Saturday's 2-2 draw with Blackpool - the game which confirmed the Addicks' relegation - through illness while midfielder Ambrose sat out with a thigh strain.

With his side now mathematically down, boss Phil Parkinson may opt to blood some of the club's youngsters in preparation for life in League One next season.

Teenage forward Tamer Tuna was given his debut as a late substitute against Blackpool and should be involved again while fellow rookies Scott Wagstaff and Chris Solly may feature.

Centre-half Jonathan Fortune (Achilles), midfielder Jose Semedo (ankle) and striker Andy Gray (pelvis) are still on the sidelines.
