Kebe doubtful for Saturday
Jimmy Kebe is doubtful for Saturday's game at home to Blackburn after picking up a knock on international duty.
Kebe played for his country in a 3-2 friendly defeat against France's B team, but was forced off through injury. Kalifa Cisse was also in the squad but did not play.
Jimmy has now returned to the UK, and will be assessed by our medical staff before a decision is made.
There are no other injury concerns for the Royals, and Glen Little is getting closer to fitness after playing 30 minutes for the reserves, but he needs a little longer before he can be considered for the first team.
Blackburn are sweating on the fitness of striker Roque Santa Cruz, who sustained an ankle problem while tackled by fellow Rover Aaron Mokoena in Paraguay's 3-0 friendly win against South Africa on Wednesday evening.
Defender Christopher Samba is out through suspension for the visitors, which could force Ryan Nelsen to play through the pain and return at centre back.
Rovers have this week received international clearance for new Swiss signing Johann Vogel, but Mark Hughes may wait for him to get fitter before putting him into the first team.
Vogel is a former AC Milan midfielder, and he signed a two-and-a-half year deal this week after leaving Real Betis following a contractual dispute.
