Aneke holding his hammy after a chase for the ball. He's down now.

CL_Phantom

Their 32 is some defender, did I hear hes only 20? 

Aneke down! holding his leg...

Briston_Addick

Oh no.

Chuks chased a long ball, got beaten by the defender, tried to turn ...

... and grabbed his hamstring ☹

Currently down receiving treatment.

Foxycafc

Aneke injured after 2 minutes of football, feel so bad for him.

Leuth

That Abbey has been incredible btw, absolute monster

I was just thinking Aneke is having a mare!!

I think for Chuks today it’s been less about him and more about their No. 32 being their best player.

No coincidence that the goal scored when Chuks got a chance to drift off of him to the back post.

Case in point again chasing down Campbell and mopping up.

And again beating Aneke 1-on-1.

Aneke gone down with hamstring problem afterwards.

SDAddick

Oh Chuks  

Talal

And this is why you don't start Aneke. 

ForeverAddickted

That reaction doesn't look good from Chuks

Fucking typical for him

Sillybilly

Twaaaang.  Inevitable unfortunately 

Elthamaddick

….and that’s why Aneke is an impact sub for 30 mins 

Callumcafc

Triple sub coming for Charlton. Asiimwe, Fraser and Leaburn

Garrymanilow

The great thing about players like CBT and Chuks is even if they're absolutely terrible for most of the game they've still got it in them to suddenly provide a goal. Need to push on now

Briston_Addick

Charlton sub:

Chuks away, Leaburn on

SantaClaus

Chuks face said it all.

ross1

In the 60th minute, I imagine he was going to be subbed anyway, just not soon enough

FishCostaFortune

Hopefully it’s just a twinge, though with Chuks I doubt it. 

At least we have strength in depth up front now. 

Callumcafc

Chuks off Leaburn on

L.Watson off Fraser on

T.Watson off Asiimwe on

CL_Phantom

Leaburn
Fraser 
Asiimwe

All on

Aneke
L Watson
T Watson

All off

Briston_Addick

And another sub:

Nathan on for TWatson

FishCostaFortune

Thought T Watson played well today. 

blackpool72

This is exactly why you don't overplay Aneke. 
20 or 25 minutes at the end of each game we might be able to play him all season. 
Start him and you break him.

Louis Mendez

@LouisMend

Asiimwe also on for T. Watson

Louis Mendez

@LouisMend

Aneke replaced by Leaburn, Fraser on for L. Watson.

Long term Hector replacement please 

SDAddick

He's walking off pretty naturally, maybe hobbling just a bit. Hopefully he's more frustrated than sad. The fact that they were trying to stretch him out is a good sign to me. If they thought he'd torn it I don't think they would have done that a they risk masking it worse.

ross1

Southend 3-0, no not him

sam3110

I've said it before, imagine taking on Aneke for an hour and his replacement is a younger, taller lad who's also just gonna bully you all game. I'd hate playing against us

ross1

Posh 2-2
