Varney in fitness race

Luke Varney has suffered an ankle injury in a friendly for Charlton against Chelsea. The Crewe fans favourite turned his ankle in the match at Chelsea`s Cobham training ground.

It`s a shame for Varney who has made an impact in his two matches to date. He scored on his debut at Welling and also scored in the match behind close doors against Chelsea as did former loan star Madjid Bougherra.

Varney 24, now faces a spell on the sidelines and faces a race against time to be fit for their opening league game against Scunthorpe United at the Valley on August 11th. He will now miss Charlton`s pre-season tour to Spain as he begins his recuperation from injury.

With Varney not travelling with the squad to Spain he may make an appearance at Sutton Park, Quorn on Wednesday to watch his previous teams Crewe and Quorn play in a pre-season friendly.
