No fresh injury concerns for Reading ahead of Fulham clash

Reading have no fresh injury concerns as they look for retribution when they take on Fulham in the Sky Bet Championship on Friday night.

Jaap Stam's side were thrashed 5-0 at Craven Cottage at the start of the month and will be looking to hit back when they welcome the Whites to Berkshire.

Midfielder John Swift made his return from an ankle injury when he came off the bench late on in the Boxing Day win over Norwich and will be pushing for a start.

Stam could yet rotate his side given the number of fixtures over the festive period, with the likes of George Evans, Jake Cooper and Callum Harriott waiting in the wings.

Fulham will continue to be without Chelsea loanee Tomas Kalas for the trip to the Madejski Stadium.

Kalas suffered a hamstring strain in the 2-2 draw with Derby on December 17, but could be back to face Brighton on Monday.

Loan striker Chris Martin will continue to spearhead Fulham's attack after scoring in the 2-0 victory at Ipswich.

Former England midfielder Scott Parker is still waiting for his first start since October.
