Sky Bet Championship: Shaun Cummings and Garath McCleary back for Reading
Wednesday 12 November 2014 15:55, UK
Reading duo Shaun Cummings and Garath McCleary have made their long-awaited comebacks from injury in a behind-closed doors friendly.
Defender Cummings has been out of action since undergoing knee surgery in August and winger McCleary had a back operation over the summer.
Both played 45 minutes as the Royals drew 2-2 against Oxford thanks to goals from Liam Kelly and Tariqe Fosu.
Aftterwards McCleary wrote on Twitter: "Nothing beats game time. First 45 minutes in just over six months."
Boss Nigel Adkins has another friendly scheduled for the weekend and if Cummings and McCleary come through that unscathed they could be in contention for the trip to Cardiff next Friday.
