Reading striker Matej Vydra is set to miss the visit of Fulham.

The Watford loanee is due back in training on Friday following a hamstring injury but is not expected to feature.

Boss Brian McDermott otherwise hopes to have a virtually fully-fit squad available.

Midfielder Aaron Tshibola is the only long-term absentee with a hamstring injury.

Fulham will be without Richard Stearman after the defender's red card late in the home defeat by Middlesbrough.

Defender Ryan Fredericks is a doubt having been forced off in the first half against Boro because of a back problem.

But full-back Fernando Amorebieta is available again having now served a one-match ban.

Goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli continues his recovery from a knee problem, while forward Cauley Woodrow (broken metatarsal) and Danish midfielder Lasse Christensen (hamstring) are both still unavailable.
