Team news – Reading vs Blackburn

As we look forward to the game against Blackburn tomorrow night, we take a look at team news for both sides.

Jaap Stam will be without midfielder Joey van den Berg, who missed the victory over Leeds with injury. Skipper Paul McShane is still struggling with a calf issue, so will not be fit. Both Danny Williams and Jordan Obita picked up knocks on Saturday, so remain doubts for the game at the Madejski.

Winger Callum Harriott has returned to training following his long-term absence, but is likely to get minutes for the under 23s before he returns to the squad. Striker Dennis Rakels is still lacking match fitness, as is January signing Tiago Ilori. Midfielder Stephen Quinn is likely to be out for the season.

The big miss for relegation threatened Blackburn is the absence of top scorer Danny Graham, who recently underwent surgery to sort a recurring groin issue. Midfielder Corry Evans and experienced defender Gordon Greer are both sidelined, while Adam Henley is still lacking match fitness after a hamstring injury.
