Coppinger was stretchered off following a challenge by Reading goalscorer Dave Kitson in the second half.[LNB]O'Driscoll said: "He's on crutches and it looks like an Achilles injury. We won't know how serious it is for 24 hours or so until things settle down.[LNB]"It was a clumsy tackle from Kitson. I don't think it was anything malicious but it was clumsy."[LNB]Reading boss Steve Coppell defended Kitson and insisted the striker had not tried to hurt Coppinger.[LNB]"I don't think anyone could say it was a dirty or malicious challenge," he said. "It was just an innocuous challenge in the middle of the park. Nothing more, nothing less."[LNB][LNB]
