Shaun Goater will almost certainly sit out tomorrow?s game between Reading and Walsall after failing to recover from injury.

Goater, on the sidelines following a knee operation for the last month, suffered an injury to his calf in training during the week and his progress was set back as a result.

According to the The Royals? official website the striker ?is not quite ready to take part yet?.

Without the Bermudian Reading went down to their third consecutive 3-0 defeat yesterday. This time it was lowly Wimbledon who left Berkshire with three points.
