Missing out - Mark Molesley (centre) will not be calling on Charlie Kelman tonight
SOUTHEND United striker Charlie Kelman will not feature in tonight's EFL Trophy tie against Portsmouth as uncertainty continues to surround his future.
Queens Park Rangers had an offer for the 18-year-old forward turned down last week.
And Kelman, who was not included in the Shrimpers' squad against Crawley Town on Saturday, will also be missing for Mark Molesley's side at Roots Hall this evening.
