New date for Sheffield Wednesday-Charlton Athletic FA Cup tie

The postponed FA Cup fifth-round tie between Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton Athletic will now take place in a week's time.

Initially due to take place over the weekend, the fixture was abandoned because of heavy rain in South Yorkshire and will now kick off at 7.45pm on Monday, February 24.

The rearrangement means that Championship fixtures for both clubs due to take place on Tuesday, February 25 will have to now be rescheduled.

Wednesday were due to face Queens Park Rangers, while Charlton were to host Barnsley.

Wednesday will be keen to progress to the quarter-finals as a Steel City derby against Sheffield United awaits the winner.
