Reading's Bobby Convey has suffered another injury setback, and is expected to miss Saturday's trip to Portsmouth.

The 24-year-old limped out of training on Thursday with a leg injury and is unlikely to make the trip to Fratton Park.

The USA international was in line to make his first league start of the season as part of his recovery from major knee surgery.

Royals boss Steve Coppell confirmed the injury, and explained that Convey is 'massively disappointed' at the setback.

Out of contention

"Bobby has tweaked something right at the top of his leg. He is massively disappointed. That will take him out of contention I would think for the weekend," he told the club's official website.

"He crossed the ball and something went and he had to come in for a bit of treatment.

"He tried it in a five-a-side but had to come in again. I can't see him being fit on Friday."
