Charlton Athletic forward Simon Church could be set for a spell on the sidelines after injuring his shoulder while playing for Wales.

The 25-year-old frontman had to come off inside the first 10 minutes during last night's Euro 2016 qualifier against Cyprus after landing awkwardly.

Wales won 2-1 to maintain their place at the top of Group B with seven points from their opening three games.

"Thanks for the messages hopefully not out for too long the boys were great again tonight good start need to keep it up support was brilliant," Church tweeted last night.

Church has struggled to hold down a regular place for Charlton, who are still unbeaten after 11 games of the Championship season, this term, making just two substitute appearances in the league.
