Injury watch 2026/27

Kelvin Abrefa will "hopefully be back on the grass next week" and Reading are looking to "get a few minutes out of" Udoka Godwin-Malife today.

Plus there's a bug going around according to Leam affecting the squad

Confirmation that Stokes, O'Connor and Brown all missed yesterday's game due to illness, not injury.

Leam Richardson confirmed that Sean Patton would be out of action for at least 12 weeks after picking up a foot injury.

Marriott is training but they are still being 'mindful' as he recovers from his back injury.

Reading FC youngsters John Ryan and Abraham Kanu are edging closer to returning to training after months of injury rehabilitation.

Richardson told me that enquiries have already been made about Kanu's availability.

I`m confident Ahmed can do a job there.

I was just going to mention that Ahmed looks the part at the moment as does Dokes. I believe that Dokes is also a CB and he looks pretty pacey from what I've seen so could it be an option to move Dokes into the CB role alongside Ward and play Ahmed as RB. Just my thoughts, Paudie has the turning circle of an oil tanker and Doke's pace may be something we can utilize. Now Dokes is injured

If Ahmed is 2nd choice now, why did we renew Abrefa? Last resort cover on both sides?
