Rotherham vs Reading preview - Evans could ring changes
Posted Monday, April 27, 2015 by PA
Rotherham boss Steve Evans has hinted at changes as his side aim to secure Sky Bet Championship survival against Reading.
The Millers, who would be safe already had it not been for a three-point deduction by the Football League, can condemn Wigan and Millwall to the drop if they beat the Royals.
Striker Danny Ward is a doubt after he came off during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Norwich and his replacement Jordan Bowery, who scored the Millers' equaliser, is in contention to start.
Evans could also call on Adam Hammill after his cameo from the bench at the weekend, while Jonson Clarke-Harris will also be eyeing a start,
Reading could be without striker Pavel Pogrebnyak again.
The Russian has been carrying a calf injury lately and has missed the last two matches, home defeats by Birmingham and Brentford.
Jure Travner is still recovering from a groin operation and fellow defender Anton Ferdinand remains sidelined by a calf problem.
Boss Steve Clarke is likely to rotate his squad again with the likes of Nick Blackman, Simon Cox and club captain Jem Karacan pushing for recalls.
