Mark Hudson is an injury doubt ahead of Charlton's opening game of the season against newly promoted Swansea City.

The newly appointed Addicks skipper for the coming season sustained an ankle injury during last weekend's pre-season friendly against Athletic Club and face's a race against time to be fit for the match against The Swans at The Valley on Saturday.

"We think Mark has a good chance," manager Alan Pardew told the club's official website.

"It's 60-40 in his favour so we're very pleased with that."
