The Royals have now received international clearance for Noel Hunt and he is set to make his Reading debut tomorrow on our pre-season tour of Sweden.

Noel signed for Reading on Wednesday evening, and all the necessary paperwork has been received for him to play.

He had also been carrying a very slight thigh strain last week but he is over that and is set to play up front against Lerkils IF, kick off 4pm local time.

Noel's likely strike partner is Shane Long, but the youngster has a light injury and if he does not recover then Noel could line up alongside his older brother Stephen.

Noel was at Thursday's 4-1 win over Trollhattan, and had his first training session with the squad this morning.

The last brothers to play for Reading were Tony and Barry Wagstaff in the early 1970s.

Marek Matejovsky will probably start, as will Kalifa Cisse and young goalkeeper Mikkel Andersen.

Graeme Murty remains injured with a calf problem and will not be involved.

Please note that kick-off time has been changed from 3pm to 4pm local time.

Noel's first interview is live on our online TV station Reading World now - see our free preview clip.
