Second-half substitute Lee Novak netted a late equaliser at AFC Wimbledon last weekend to draw 1-1, with United sitting ninth in the table but one point away from a play-off spot.
Meanwhile, Charlton lost 1-0 to Wimbledon during the week with a goal from ex-Iron Lyle Taylor. They six sixth but a Scunthorpe win can see them leapfrog the Addicks.

Luke Williams has also been involved in training this week after recovering from illness.
