Charlton Athletic forward Miles Leaburn is expected to be sidelined for the next five months following a hamstring surgery. The 20-year-old player experienced a hamstring issue during Tuesday’s 2-1 victory over Cheltenham Town, leading to his withdrawal from the match. The League One club has officially confirmed that Leaburn underwent a successful operation but will now face an extended period of recovery.
This development rules out any possibility of a January transfer for Leaburn, who had attracted interest from Brentford and Chelsea. The young striker had already missed the initial weeks of the season due to an ankle injury sustained in a pre-season friendly against Welling United.
Additionally, Charlton is dealing with the absence of Chuks Aneke, who is expected to be out with a hamstring injury until the new year. To address the squad’s needs, the Addicks have recalled Dan Kanu from his loan spell at Southend United.
