Cullen out, Otzumer doubtful fior Luton

Josh Cullen will have a scan on his ankle today and will not be available at Luton on Tuesday evening: Key man ruled out

Ehrun Otzumer is 'touch and go' according to Lee Bowyer.

Once again, Lee Bowyer will not be able to name a full bench.

Bowyer can't take risks with Williams

Jonny Williams quickly established himself as a fans' favourite at Charlton, but Lee Bowyer did not start him against Birmingham City. Bowyer admits that Ehrun Otzumer did not achieve what he hoped for in terms of unlocking the Blues.

However, Bowyer regards Williams as a precious resource who has to be protected against injury: Bowyer explains why Williams was benched

Bowyer thinks that if we were still playing against Birmingham we wouldn't have scored and that's how I felt towards the end of the game.

Solly sidelined

Lee Bowyer will give new signing Ehrun Otzumer time to gain match fitness before introducing him to first team action. Bowyer thinks he is an exciting signing, comparing him to Jonny Williams: Prepared to play the waiting game

Otzumer signs two year deal

Ehrun Otzumer has signed a two year deal at Charlton. Richard Cawley of the SLP notes, 'Patience personified by all parties for this one. Charlton tried to get him last January and then there has been the lengthy wait for him to get free of his Bolton Wanderers deal.'

The 28-year old local lad born in Greenwich started as a youngster at Charlton, but was let go for being too small. He subsequently played for Dulwich Hamlet.

Career details here: Otzumer

A Charlton fan who also follows Dulwich Hamlet said, 'I am absolutely ecstatic about the signing of Erhun Oztumer. You won’t believe how small he is and you won’t believe how good he is. The only reason he didn’t do better at the Hamlet was the other players weren’t good enough to keep up with him. If Lyle and the rest can get onto his wavelength we could be in for a massive season.'
