Reading FC manager Paul Ince has named an unchanged team for the visit of Blackburn Rovers today (19/03/22)

The Royals battled hard and drew 1-1 with promotion-chasing Bournemouth on Tuesday night, with Tom Ince opening his Reading account with a late strike to earn the visitors a point.

The main news for the day is that midfield maestro John Swift returns to the squad after missing two matches with Covid-19.

Swift has scored 11 goals for Reading this season and has contributed 13 assists, a real key man for the side.

 

The complete team is: Nyland; Yiadom; Morrison; Holmes; McIntyre; Drinkwater; Laurent; Rinohmota; Ejaria; Ince; Joao

Bench: Southwood; Dann; Dele-Bashiru; Swift; Barker; Hoilett; Meite

 

The visitors make three changes from their side that beat Derby County in midweek.

 

Kaminski; Lenihan; Van Hecke; Wharton; Giles; Travis; Rothwell; Buckley; Khadra; Dolan; Gallagher

Bench: Pears; Brown; Pickering; Johnson; Rankin-Costello Dack; Hedges
