Charlton Athletic Overview

Former England international Conor Coady has been discharged from hospital after a frightening head injury left him unconscious during Charlton Athletic’s 1-1 draw with Watford. The 33-year-old, currently on loan from Wrexham, required nine minutes of on-field treatment after blocking a powerful shot with his face in the closing stages at Vicarage Road, before he was stretchered off and taken to hospital.

Roy Hodgson, at the age of 78, made a triumphant return to the dugout in his first game back as Bristol City manager following a 2-1 victory over Charlton Athletic, secured by Noah Eile’s scrappy winner at The Valley. Following the match, Hodgson revealed he had received a special message from legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
