Reading captain Graeme Murty has been ruled out for the remainder of the club's pre-season tour of Sweden with a calf strain.The 33-year-old has already missed the first two matches of the trip and will sit out the final game against Halmstads on Tuesday.

Steve Coppell said: "Murts won't play on this trip which is really disappointing.

"We had a scan before we came out and it showed a grade one calf strain which should normally clear up quickly.

"But we think he'll be alright for the start of the season.

"We want to 100% eradicate it and make sure he's not nursing it."
