Reading vs Fulham preview - Murray to make Royals debut
Posted Friday, September 12, 2014 by PA
Glenn Murray is in line to make his Reading debut when they entertain Fulham.
The striker just beat the 11pm deadline before the transfer window shut to join the Royals on loan from Crystal Palace.
Midfielder Danny Guthrie could return to the squad after a calf problem while Hal Robson-Kanu, Stephen Kelly (both knee) and Pavel Pogrebnyak (calf) have also trained this week as Reading's chronic injury list finally shows signs of clearing up.
But Shaun Cummings, Danny Williams, Jem Karacan (all knee) and Garath McCleary (back) are still out while Anton Ferdinand's debut has been delayed by a hamstring injury.
Fulham also have a new striker hoping to make his first appearance in the shape of Matt Smith.
The deadline-day signing from Leeds is set to link up with former Elland Road team-mate Ross McCormack in attack.
Fellow forward Adam Taggart is still out as he continues to recover from a back problem, while Bryan Ruiz is on international duty with Costa Rica.
But boss Felix Magath has an otherwise fully-fit squad as the Cottagers go in search of their first league win of the season at the sixth attempt.
