¿Dónde está Mikel

A defeat on the final day of the Addicks’ tour of southern Spain, but a defeat with no shame only more words of encouragement. The Cardiff City media man on Twitter was complimentary of the Addicks’ performance despite losing 1-0 and I am sure the party will return in high spirits. Next up is Aldershot on Wednesday.

There was an injury scare though with Dale Stephens hurriedly being substituted after an awkward fall. Cedric Evina was again missing as was Mikel Alonso, who I thought was meeting up with the squad in Spain but as far as I can tell has not been mentioned in dispatches?
