Reading manager Ruben Selles has given an update on the fitness of defenders Jeriel Dorsett and Kelvin Abrefa ahead of their upcoming match against Birmingham City. The two players have returned to training following their injuries over the summer, but will face a late fitness test to determine if they will be able to play on Saturday.
This news comes as Reading prepares to kick off their season at St Andrew’s, with a large number of supporters expected to attend the match. The team has had a successful pre-season, winning games against three Championship opponents, and will be looking to carry that momentum into the new campaign.
In addition to Dorsett and Abrefa, Reading has been dealing with injuries to other key players. Teenager John Ryan is facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a broken ACL, while club captain Andy Yiadom is also out with a knee problem until at least the end of September.
Despite these setbacks, Reading remains optimistic about their chances in the upcoming match. Selles expressed confidence that at least one of the injured players will be available to play some minutes on Saturday. The team is determined to make a strong start to the season and will be looking to secure a positive result against Birmingham City.
As the team continues to work on getting key players back to full fitness, fans can expect an exciting and competitive match at St Andrew’s. Reading will be hoping to build on their pre-season success and start the new season on a high note. Stay tuned for more updates as the match approaches and the team finalizes their lineup for Saturday’s clash.
