Trio miss out for Reading

Reading will be without defender Michael Duberry (knee), midfielder Brynjar Gunnarsson (groin) and winger Glen Little (heel) for Saturday’s trip to Middlesbrough.

Duberry and Gunnarsson are back in training but will not be included in the travelling party as Reading seek to end a run of eight Barclays Premier League defeats.

Manager Steve Coppell has vowed to make changes so defensive duo Ivar Ingimarsson and Andre Bikey stand by for recalls and recent signing Jimmy Kebe a first start.

Provisional squad: Hahnemann, Federici, Murty, Rosenior, de la Cruz, Ingimarsson, Bikey, Sonko, Cisse, Shorey, Golbourne, Oster, Kebe, Harper, Matejovsky, Hunt, Fae, Doyle, Kitson, Lita, Long, Bennett.
