The open Qatar transfer window has let another Charlton player leave before the end of the club's Premier League campaign.

Addicks boss Alan Curbishley said: "We have allowed Talal to go to Al Gharafa on loan for the remainder of the season with a view to a permanent move, after he expressed a desire to play regularly with Al Gharafa because of his lack of first-team opportunities this season. He missed a large part of the first half of the season through injury and hasn't played too many games since, so I was happy to give him this opportunity."
