McCarthy injury blow for Reading
Reading goalkeeper Alex McCarthy is set for a spell on the sidelines after damaging his shoulder in Sunday's Barclays Premier League match against Queens Park Rangers.

Reading host Norwich City on Saturday and will be without the services of midfielders Jem Karacan and Danny Guthrie.

Spurs hopeful over Dembele
Tottenham Hotspur have been boosted by the news that midfielder Mousa Dembele will not require surgery on his hip injury and could be back in action in the north London derby against Arsenal on 17 November.
The 25-year-old has not played for Spurs since 7 October after aggravating an old hip injury while on international duty with Belgium.
Dembele has been told that surgery will not definitely solve the problem and he will be placed on a course of physiotherapy, meaning he will miss the matches against Maribor on Thursday and Manchester City on Sunday.
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas said: "We could either give him surgery immediately, but there is no certainty it will cure the problem, or he could rest, have manual therapy, train in the swimming pool.
"That allows the player the possibility of return within 10-15 days, so we are taking that option at the moment, without having the surgery."
