Team news: Reading vs Leicester

Vital Reading takes a look at some team news, ahead of tomorrow’s crucial game against Leicester.

Adkins has an injury crisis on his hands once again, with midfielder Danny Guthrie relapsing from a calf strain suffered last month, while fellow midfielder Danny Williams is a doubt with a swallow knee. However, Mikele Leigertwood’s return to fitness is a timely boost.

It is expected that both Michael Hector and Hope Akpan will both return for the game at the Madejski Stadium, after missing the previous two outings away from home. The only long-term absentee remains Jem Karacan, who is expected to return early next season.

Leicester could recall in-form striker Jamie Vardy, following a groin strain which has ruled him out of the previous three games. Other than this, Nigel Pearson has a mainly fully fit squad to choose from, as he hopes to bounce back from the 4-1 defeat to Brighton on Tuesday.
