Reading duo in fitness race for Preston clash
Posted Friday, April 06, 2018 by PA
Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and Omar Richards are battling to be fit for Reading’s Championship clash with Preston.
Bodvarsson remains Reading’s top scorer with 10 goals this term, but has missed the last three games due to hamstring trouble.
Richards has not featured since the end of February as he too battles a hamstring complaint.
Tyler Blackett faces a late fitness test after picking up a knock in Tuesday’s 3-0 loss at Aston Villa.
Preston boss Alex Neil could mix up selection in a bid to fire his side back to winning ways following two-straight defeats.
Daniel Johnson and Louis Moult remained unused substitutes in Monday’s 1-0 home loss to Derby, that followed a 4-1 thumping at Sheffield Wednesday.
Neil has moved to defend his squad despite the two results, but could still shuffle the pack, with Johnson and Moult both eyeing starting berths.
Alan Browne is expected to continue despite missing a penalty in that home loss to Derby.
