Charlie Colkett

So this is the guy that everyone is getting excited over. I see.

Indeed. He's had an excellent season with the youth sides and his performance against the Thailand side with the first team has properly put him on the radar.

I, for one, just like his hair.

Whats up with him, wasnt taken to USA, isnt starting tonight for U21? Injury?

The mystery continues. No sight of Charlie yet and no explanation that I've seen. Does anyone know of any information which has been released?

There is nothing on his twitter feed. The last tweet, posted on 31st August, was the fairly enigmatic, "Don't tark to much...." plus an egg timer graphic. We might all have our own guess what that suggests but it's likely that if the absence was caused by an injury we'd have learned about it. Makes it seem more likely that the problem is disciplinary, not medical. If so, it's a big shame but let's hope he's back sooner rather than later and puts it behind him.

He is injured.

OK, thank you. I haven't read that news anywhere. Where was it announced?

thanks again, you're a star.

I did search The Chels website before I posted yesterday and I've just scrolled back to early August in his twitter feed but saw nothing. I confess though that I don't know my way around twitter so I'll just take your word for it and save myself a bit of RSI.

Thank you TC. It still seems more than odd that we've heard so little about Charlie's continued absence.

Had he been able to play, I think Charlie would have been a great option for Vitesse. Given that Josh had made himself first choice there by the end of last season I believe Charlie would have been a perfect replacement for the club, and the club would have been great for him.

According to his Instagram, he's back! Most talented player in our youth set-up, IMO.

He played for 25 minutes against Porto in UEFA Youth League.

Ah, I only saw he was on the bench, didn't realise he'd played. Glad to see him back!

He posted this on his instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/_9-rFHlYBM/

Is he going to be handed his debut? Those sweet sweet two minutes in added time.
