INJURY UPDATE Doubts over availability of Reading star who closes curtain on 15-year association
Doubts still remain over the availability of Reading defender Tom Holmes ahead of what could be his final involvement for his boyhood club. 24-year-old Holmes rose through the ranks with the Royals and has been on the books with the club for 16 years, making over 130 appearances in the process. Signing for Premier League Luton Town in January, but was loaned back until the summer to help keep his side in League One, the centre-back suffered a back injury in February and has not featured since. Blackpool's visit to Berkshire on Saturday will mark the end of Holmes' time as a Royal, linking back up with the Hatters for pre-season.
