Reading manager Steve Coppell could have winger Glen Little back in his squad for the first leg of the play-off semi-final at Burnley.

The former Clarets winger missed last weekend`s defeat to Birmingham with a hamstring injury, but is back in training and could return at Turf Moor.

Striker Kevin Doyle is back to full fitness after nursing a knee injury for the last 10 weeks and could start in place of Dave Kitson.

Leroy Lita - who hasn`t featured since February - is also back in training after an operation on his ankle and could travel, but James Harper (groin) remains sidelined.

Another striker, Noel Hunt, is definitely out as he recovers from a fractured bone in his foot while left-back Chris Armstrong is out with a knee injury.

That will see Dan Harding continue to deputise and the on-loan Ipswich man should be back to 100% after playing against Birmingham with tonsilitis. Ivar Ingimarsson (knee) is a long-term absentee.
