Roberts out for Reading

Veteran Reading striker Jason Roberts (hip) is again missing as Swansea visit the Madejski Stadium in the Barclays Premier League on St Stephen's Day.

The 34-year-old has missed the Royals’ last three games but is close to regaining fitness.

Defender Sean Morrison (ankle) is still sidelined and goalkeeper Alex McCarthy (shoulder) is out long term but Reading have no fresh injuries from the weekend loss at Manchester City.

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