Terry Taylor will be ‘available’ this weekend, according to Charlton Athletic manager Michael Appleton.
Charlton Athletic return to action on Saturday when they travel to Shrewsbury Town. The Addicks have won four of their past two League One games.

Taylor, 22, sat out of their 3-1 win over Wycombe Wanderers at The Valley last time out. The club followed concussion protocols.

Appleton has provided this update to London News Online: “He had concussion symptoms after the game and went straight to hospital. It was a little bit different to Alfie (May) in terms of the protocol, in terms of his return to training.

“He’ll be ready for the squad this weekend.” He’ll almost certainly be with the group this week and next. He will be fit and available as long as there are no side symptoms or bad effects from the initial injury, whether dizziness, blurred vision, or whatever.”

Having Taylor back will be a big boost for Charlton as they look to pick up another result under Appleton.

They turned to the former Blackpool and Lincoln City manager after parting company with Dean Holden last month.

The Addicks are currently sat in 16th place in the league table after the first eight games and have 10 points on the board. The London outfit at six points off the play-offs.

They swooped to land Taylor over the summer from fellow third tier club Burton Albion to bolster their options in the middle of the park.
