Albie Morgan the 18-year-old midfielder had been set to play against Accrington Stanley on Saturday before suffering an ankle injury the Thursday before the game in training.
Bowyer said: “Albie will be about six weeks. Everything seems to be about a six week minimum with us.”
He also updated on Joe Aribo, who has been out of the side with a knee injury since being substituted in Charlton’s 2-0 win at home to Gillingham in December: “Joe Aribo has started running, dependent on how he gets on, he might start integrating to training next week. He’s probably, maybe two weeks away.”
Striker Igor Vetokele suffered a dislocated shoulder in November against Walsall, Bowyer updated: “Igor joined in with minimal contact on Tuesday. We’ve got to do a mini pre-season with Igor, he’s been out for 12 weeks”

I’ve not been certain his heart is really in it ever since his first serious injury in the championship.
He did look pretty good at sint Truiden in the Belgian top (pub) League before getting injured again.
I do hope he regains fitness and form and fires us into the championship but I am also not going to hold my breath as that would end badly.
He's been desperately unlucky with the 2 injuries this season, and even when he was fit in between,
he was kept out by our inform goalscoring duo.
He's an experienced player, capable and can finish.
Once he's fit, he may well have an important part to play in the run in games.
The midfielder has been missing since December 22 with a knee injury.
Addicks boss Lee Bowyer said: “We’re hoping he might start training today with us.
“He did a little bit on Friday, but not with us. He’s been running for a bit now.
“Even if it is not today then he can’t be too far away.”

We don't score enough goals from midfield even with him and his running changes games.
If Vetokele doesn't want to go back to earning 2k a week in the Belgium 2nd Division or the French 3rd he needs to find the net in the last 2 months of the season because if not he will be released by Cafc under Duchatelet or the new owners if that day every happens.
He has been unlucky with injuries but I just don't get the feeling Igor works hard enough in getting himself physicaly and mentally fit for action.
Apologies to him if wrong as he seemed a great guy on the couple of occasions I have chatted to him.
There would always be one player who was a sparky, or his brother was.
Endless supply. One week it would be black; next game blue - sometimes even yellow, if he worked at the Dockyard.
Marching on together,
We will see you win,
La la la la la la
We are are so proud
To shout it out loud
Because we're .......................
We just used electrical tape or black and yellow police tape as our kit was yellow and black.
