The Addicks announced another two friendlies on Wednesday morning. They will face Sporting Clube de Portugal (better known as Sporting Lisbon) in Lepe, Spain on Thursday 19 July.

The anticipated behind-closed-doors friendly with Fulham at Craven Cottage on 11 August was confirmed at the same time.

With games also scheduled against Welling, Bromley, Barnet, Bury Town, Crawley and Gillingham, the only possible addition to the list would be a second game in Spain. With the Lisbon game being played on the Thursday, it could be awkward to slot in another match though.

The original Championship programme could be tweaked even before Sky release their list of televised games. The Boxing Day match against Ipswich at The Valley is likely to kick-off at midday with the Easter Monday clash at Brighton almost certainly being deferred by 24 hours.

Sky have pencilled in up to 10 Thursdays for the live transmission of Football League games in the forthcoming season, so fans could be watching their team on an unusual day.

Chris Powell has told the South London Press that he hopes to have all his new recruits in place by the time the team depart for their training camp in Spain on 16 July.
