BEN Mundele will not be joining Southend United.
The right-back - who impressed for Cray Wanderers last season - had been on trial with the Shrimpers but a groin injury hindered his progress.
The defender played 45 minutes of the 5-0 win against Great Wakering Rovers earlier this month before heading out to Spain with the Blues squad last week.
However, injury stopped Mundele lining up against Aberdeen while abroad and ultimately ended his trial.
But it is believed Blues will continue to monitor the 19-year-old's progress.
