Oster to miss visit of Reds

Reading will be without John Oster for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League visit of Liverpool after it was decided the winger required surgery on a troublesome ankle.

Defender Michael Duberry has resumed training following cracked ribs but will not be considered for a comeback.

Winger Glen Little (Achilles) is the only other absentee.

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