Smertin back for Addicks

Alexei Smertin is set to return to the Charlton squad for tomorrow’s Barclays Premiership clash with Bolton at The Valley.

The on-loan Russian midfielder was ineligible for the Carling Cup win over Chelsea in midweek, but is likely to be back in the side, along with Radostin Kishishev – at the expense of Bryan Hughes and Matt Holland.
