Duberry doubtful

Defender Michael Duberry is doubtful for Reading’s home Barclays Premier League game with Arsenal on Monday night after damaging ribs in last week’s defeat at Fulham.

Winger John Oster (ankle) and utility man Kalifa Cisse (knee) are both back in contention however following run outs for the reserves.

That leaves just winger Glen Little (Achilles) as a long-term absentee.

Provisional squad: Hahnemann, Federici, Murty, Rosenior, Ingimarsson, Sonko, Duberry, Shorey, Doyle, Gunnarsson, Harper, Hunt, Convey, Lita, Kitson, Long, de la Cruz, Bikey, Fae, Oster, Cisse.
