Nelson Oliveira injury worry for Reading
Posted Thursday, January 31, 2019 by PA
New Reading signing Nelson Oliveira is a doubt for this weekend’s fixture against Aston Villa after his goalscoring debut on Tuesday.
The Norwich loanee scored a penalty in the 1-1 draw at Bolton but suffered a minor adductor problem.
Ovie Ejaria (adductor) was an unused substitute on Tuesday and will be nursed through the injury.
Club captain Paul McShane is back in training after a hamstring injury but long-term absentee Jordan Obita remains out with a knee problem.
Jack Grealish is still sidelined for Aston Villa with an ongoing shin problem.
The midfielder is in light training but is not expected back for another couple of weeks.
Andre Green is out for a number of weeks after picking up a hamstring injury following his return from his loan at Portsmouth.
Axel Tuanzebe (foot) is also out while Henri Lansbury (hamstring) is struggling.
