Former Dunfermline defender Josh Edwards faces an anxious wait to find out the nature of an injury he sustained in Charlton Athletic’s 1-0 win over Leyton Orient.
Edwards, picked up by the Addicks this summer for a five-figure fee, was stretchered off after being on the receiving end of a horror tackle by ex-Hearts man Sean Clare.
Clare was booked by ref Edward Duckworth but Charlton manager Nathan Jones was stunned a red card wasn’t shown.
“I’ve been in to see the referee and he has instinctively reacted and given a yellow.
“If that goes to VAR it is a straight red all day long.”
Edwards has started both of Charlton’s EFL League One matches this season.
The 24-year-old, who is in the first year of a four-year deal with the Addicks after five years with the Pars, will hope this setback does not derail his season.
Charlton have taken six points from a possible six already.
Edwards – who also attracted interest from Bristol Rovers – racked up almost 200 appearances in five years after joining the Pars from Airdrie.
