Charlton Athletic provide latest Miles Leaburn update

Charlton Athletic manager Nathan Jones has been teasing the return of striker Miles Leaburn for weeks and has provided another update on the promising 20-year-old head of the League One trip to Stevenage this weekend.

Speaking via the club website, the Welshman said: “Miles is a lot closerin comparisonto where he was before. We have to manage his minutes well.

"It was a serious injury, albeit a muscular one, so he has to be psychologically ready, and we have to get enough football into him so he can tolerate the physicality of League One football."

Leaburn has been in action for the Addicks' under-21 side as he works his way back from the injury. Jones has not been afraid to put hype on the player's return.

Earlier this season, he said: “He is categorically for me like a new signing - and a wonderful new signing. Because if I could profile a centre-forward heliterallyticks all the boxes in terms of what we need."

Wrexham boss praises Leyton Orient

Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has praised Leyton Orient ahead ofthis weekend's trip to London to take on Richie Wellens' side.

The O's have won two of their last three league outings after a shaky start to the campaign and have found form after the international break. Parkinson watched the side in action in the 2-2 draw against Peterborough United on Tuesday night.

He said: "Their last two results have been good, winning at Reading and Stockport and it was good for me to able to see them on Tuesday night. We’ll have a gameplan and I’m really looking forward to going to London and Brisbane Road - an old traditional ground.”

Birmingham City tipped for Peterborough United transfer

Birmingham City face Peterborough United this weekend in a fixture that comes just days after the Blues were tipped to swoop for their opposition's star man in the upcoming transfer window.

Posh sit eighth in League One as it stands and have been spearheaded by the form of Kwame Poku. The 23-year-old has five league goals to his name and is said to be attracting transfer interest.

Peterborough director of football Barry Fry appeared on the Keep Right On podcast this week and teased that Birmingham City could well bid for the forward. He said: “I’m sure Craig [Gardner] will come in for one other player I’ve got and he’ll perhaps come round to my way of thinking. He’s got to pay my money instead of his!”

When pressed for a name, Fry admitted it was a 23-year-old winger who is 'top scorer in the league'.
