Charlton trio Luke Varney, Lloyd Sam and Aswad Thomas have had surgery to repair hernias ahead of next season.First-team physio Steve Allen told the official club website: "As soon as the season finished we were aware that we wanted to sort out a few problems.
"Early in the summer is the best time to have minor operations because it allows plenty of time for rest and rehabilitation before the start of the following campaign.
"Hernia operations are not as big a deal as they once were, and players can recover in around three weeks, so they should be fine for pre-season."
