Injury news - "no comment"
News of injuries these days down at The Valley is hard to find. For example do we know how Luke Varney is fairing with his ankle injury? Last we heard was that he was back in training and I would have thought we may have seen him play some part of tonight's reserve match against Leyton Orient, but no.

Ireland story on the official site does tease us with:
"Scans on the ankle injury suffered by the right-back at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday, that forced his substitution in the second half, have revealed there is no fracture, and he will be further assessed by the French medical team."
So I guess that's good news but come on Charlton, how about telling us what we want to know and not just pad the official site up with stories on brick laying and bus routes?
