TEAM NEWS

Reading will be without Glen Little for the trip to Sheffield. The former Burnley winger suffered a hamstring injury in the 1-0 defeat to West Ham on Tuesday. His place is expected to go to either Andy Hughes or Paul Brooker.

Another player who is very doubtful is James Harper. He picked up a knock on his knee on Tuesday night after a heavy tackle. Should he not feature either Ricky Newman or Andy Hughes will partner Steve Sidwell in the middle of midfield.

Bobby Convey should start for the Royals on the left wing after an impressive debut on Tuesday.

Apart from that Reading travel to Bramall Lane with the rest of the players ready.

Graeme Murty will make his 200^th Royals appearance tomorrow against The Blades.

For Sheffield United, they have some injury problems ahead of the match. New summer signing Paul Thirlwell is still not match fit after recently signing from Sunderland.

Former Bradford defender Simon Francis won’t play for the rest of August after being diagnosed with glandular fever.

Jack Lester is still injured while Rob Kozluk is out after undergoing an operation on his foot.
