Nathan Jones has spelled out that the number one spot at Charlton Athletic is a two-way battle between Thomas Kaminski and Will Mannion.
Kaminski, signed for an undisclosed fee from Luton Town in the summer, had played every minute in the Championship campaign until a hamstring injury saw him sit out the 1-0 defeat to Wrexham on February 28.
Mannion, who finished last season as first choice, has replaced the Belgium-born stopper and earned praise from Jones for his performance in Saturday’s 1-0 victory over Birmingham City.

It looks highly likely that Mannion will stay in the starting line-up for Wednesday’s match at promotion-chasing Middlesbrough even if Kaminski were to be declared fit.
