Simon Church and Shane Long spearhead Reading attack
By Jonny Fordham
July 28, 2009
Hot-shot strikers Simon Church and Shane Long could both start for Reading tonight.
Royals play their third and final match of their Swedish tour against Superettan side Qviding tonight (kick-off 6pm).
The team from Saro play in the equivalent of the English Championship and will be the toughest opposition for the squad before they fly back home tomorrow.
Brendan Rodgers could play Welsh international Church as a supporting striker to Republic of Ireland international Long after both have scored four goals this pre-season.
Adam Federici is certain to start in goal with Kalifa Cisse fit enough to partner Alex Pearce in defence.
Liam Rosenior and Ryan Bertrand will play their second games on tour with Brynjar Gunnarsson likely to partner Jay Tabb in midfield.
Goal-hungry winger Hal Robson-Kanu will take to the field on the right with Jimmy Kebe on the left.
James Harper has an outside chance of a run-out after recovering well from a calf strain and striker Noel Hunt could also get some more minutes on the pitch as he continues his battle towards match fitness.
