Speaking in his Monday press conference, Garner confirmed Terell Thomas (hamstring) and Conor McGrandles (ankle) are both set for a spell on the sidelines having sustained injuries during Saturday’s FA Cup tie in SE7.
Ryan Inniss is available again having served his two-match suspension, while Garner confirmed Deji Elerewe will also return to his matchday squad after being recalled from his loan spell at Wealdstone.
Mandela Egbo (quad), Eoghan O’Connell (knee), Diallang Jaiyesimi (ankle) and Miles Leaburn (ankle) remain absent.
Addicks midfielder Alex Gilbey, who is on loan at Stevenage, is ineligible for Tuesday’s cup clash.
Jordan Roberts, the hosts’ top scorer, is suspended after being dismissed last weekend and Elliott List (knee) remains sidelined.
Stevenage currently sit second in Sky Bet League Two following a great start to the season, suffering just three league defeats in 17 matches.
Steve Evans’ side have won all but one of their games at the Lamex Stadium this term, with the solitary defeat coming in their most recent home match against Northampton Town.
The Boro have claimed victories over two higher-division clubs in Reading and Peterborough United to reach the third round of the Carabao Cup for the first time in the club’s history.
Charlton and Stevenage have only met on three previous occasions with the Addicks winning two and the Boro one.
The last meeting between the two sides came in the EFL Trophy in October 2018. Toby Stevenson bagged a debut hat-trick as the Addicks recorded a club-record 8-0 victory at the Lamex Stadium.
