Fulham vs Reading preview - Two back for Cottagers
Posted Friday, January 16, 2015 by PA
Ryan Tunnicliffe and Alex Kacaniklic are back in contention for Fulham when Reading visit Craven Cottage.
The midfield duo missed Tuesday night's epic FA Cup replay penalty shoot-out win at Wolves as they had not returned from their loan spells when the original tie was played.
Striker Hugo Rodallega is set to return to the starting line-up after dropping to the bench at Molineux but midfielder Lasse Vigen Christensen could miss out again with a hamstring strain.
Defenders Tim Hoogland (hernia) and Fernando Amorebieta (knee) are still on the sidelines.
Reading striker Pavel Pogrebnyak is set to face his former club.
The Russian made a surprise return to the starting line-up for last weekend's goalless draw against Middlesbrough after two months out with a calf injury.
Midfielder Hope Akpan is on the mend after a shoulder problem but is unlikely to be risked while defender Anton Ferdinand is still struggling with a calf problem.
Club captain Jem Karacan should be involved again after his late cameo against Boro - his first appearance in 16 months following a knee injury.
