Michail Antonio has been training with the Addicks for a few days as Nathan Jones and the medical team cast their eyes over the ex-West Ham striker with a view of putting together a deal for the free-agent.
Antonio has not played a competitive game in England since the highly-documented car crash in December 2024 that left the 35-year-old with multiple leg fractures.

The deduction is applied immediately meaning they fall from 17th to 20th in the table and put another body between us and the bottom three.

An absolutely vital win on the road at Leicester today, and brilliant for those 2,500 Addicks that went up there. They deserved that and it was great to see the scenes at the end.

It was another excellent display of sheer determination, aggressive pressing and quality not only matching but eclipsing our exalted opponents, but the winning goal was straight out of the Premier League and separated the two teams.

It is yet unknown who else was in the helicopter when it crashed just outside of the Walker Stadium.
I’ve been celebrating Leicester goals and results more than my own team in recent weeks. It wasn’t hard to be fair, but I think we can all join in the celebrations tonight as Leicester are crowned Premier League Champions. Champions, for real, and I really don’t think anything is comparable in world sports to what the Foxes have just achieved.
Leicester have truly resuscitated our dreams. I know Chelsea, Man City, Man U fans et al are all happy for them as well, but that’s mostly because of an ‘anyone but them’ wish but for fans of football club’s like ours, it is what we all go to football for. The hope, the fairytale, the slightest improbable chance that one day Charlton, or Cardiff, or Crewe, or Cheltenham might just do what Leicester have just done. Sport is the impossible, football is the impossible and Leicester City have just kept those dreams alive.

“Whoever you play for, you’ve got to remember that you’re wearing the shirt and you’re lucky to be part of the club. You should represent them in the way the fans want you to. They know you’re not going to win every game, but they want you to give them a bit of pride.” – Chris Powell
Chris gave this interview here just before Paulo Sousa was sacked as Leicester City boss. Unsurprisingly Chris talks with clarity and balance, unaffected by his time in the game. On Saturday he jointly coached and picked the team for the home match against Scunthorpe. Leicester won for only the second time in the league this season.
Now Sven-Goran Eriksson is his new boss, the manager who gave Powell his five caps. Anyone else have re-occurring dream that Chris Powell occupies the manager’s office at Charlton one day?
