Reading FC manager Paul Ince gave an injury update to his squad ahead of their clash with Swansea City.
After suffering several injury issues during his tenure at Reading, Ince was delighted to report no new injuries.
“Today was the first time since I started that we’ve had a full squad out on the training ground,” said Ince.
“Not one person in the medical room, everyone was out and that’s a nice feeling.
“To look and see no injury worries, in the next 23 games we should be stronger and we can afford to start moving the formation and go more attacking.
“We’ve got tough fixtures coming up. The spirit is there and we will keep fighting.”
Despite having no new injury worries, Ince confirmed that Ovie Ejaria is still away from the squad.
Ejaria missed the one week trip to Tenerife due to disciplinary reasons and is currently recovering from an injury.
He continued: “Ovie has not been back in the squad. He’s still getting treatment and over the next week hopefully he will be back and we will welcome him back once he’s fit.
“He has to play a part in what we are trying to achieve and if you’re not going to do that at some stage, you have to be dealt with. He’s a talented player and we could do with his help.
“Hutch (Sam Hutchinson) is probably another week away. We’ve got Naby (Sarr) coming back, Liam Moore is another two or three weeks away.
“We’ve got a big squad, but you look at it now and Naby [Sarr] still needs to get up to scratch, Tom McIntyre has been out for a month and a half.
“Liam Moore has been out for eight months, Scott Dann has been out for eight months.
“So, you think they’re back, but they’re not really back because they’re going to need three or four games to get to Championship level.”
