Injury boost for Paul Clement ahead of visit of Bolton
Posted Thursday, August 16, 2018 by PA
Reading boss Paul Clement is hopeful all three of his players who were forced off in midweek will be available to face Bolton on Saturday.
The Royals got their first win of the campaign as they saw off Birmingham in the Carabao Cup first round.
Goalscorer Yakou Meite, Modou Barrow and Leandro Bacuna, all left the game with knocks but should be cleared for the weekend.
Adrian Popa could also feature after returning to training but the likes of Chris Gunter and Sone Aluko are still absent.
Unlike Reading, Bolton were eliminated from the Carabao Cup in midweek following a 2-1 loss at Leeds.
Phil Parkinson made 10 changes for the clash at Elland Road but said after the game that some had done enough to remain in contention for the trip to Berkshire.
Erhun Oztumer made a goalscoring debut in the defeat and could make his league bow at the Madejski Stadium.
Winger Sammy Ameobi (hip) and striker Clayton Donaldson (groin) missed Saturday’s home draw against Bristol City and remain doubtful.
