South London Sport: Charlton Athletic Edition caught up with Nathan Jones this afternoon ahead of the Boxing Day trip to Norwich City.

The Welshman was able to provide a positive development regarding last season’s top scorer Matty Godden, who has not featured since May’s League One play-off final win due to complications with a knee injury.

Other questions included an explanation why Gassan Ahadme, loaned to Stevenage in the summer transfer window, has not made their matchday squad in the past three matches.

Jones also discussed handing back to back starts to Karoy Anderson plus his assessment of Rob Apter’s performance at left wing-back in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Oxford United.

Jones: “They have given us decisions to make because they have both been doing fantastically well.
