Kebe back for Reading

Reading boss Brian McDermott will welcome Jimmy Kebe back into his squad for Sunday’s Premier League fixture at home to Tottenham.

The Mali winger has been missing all season due to a hamstring injury but is now available for selection after returning to training.

Jason Roberts (calf) is the only player unavailable to McDermott with all of his international players returning unscathed from their respective matches.

There had been a small doubt over the fitness of Adam Federici but the goalkeeper is likely to retain his starting place at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday.

Provisional squad: Federici, Taylor, Gunter, Cummings, Gorkss, Pearce, Mariappa, Shorey, Harte, McAnuff, Guthrie, Leigertwood, Tabb, Kebe, McCleary, Pogrebnyak, Le Fondre, Hunt, Robson-Kanu, Church, McCarthy.
