The young striker crashed his Porsche into a small wooden post whilst driving at around 10mph on Monday night. He said: "I have no idea what exactly happened but I’m doing OK. I’ve been having tests and hopefully we should find out soon what the problem was. There have been inaccurate reports flying about which I don’t want to repeat simply because they have no truth whatsoever."

Charlton chief executive Peter Varney said: "We are very concerned because Jay had a blackout six years ago, and seems to have suffered a recurrence. He and his family are naturally very concerned as to why he has suffered another blackout. Jay is also extremely upset at the suggestion that he had taken drugs."
