Reading midfielder Stephen Hunt says he is prepared for the attention that is sure to follow him in the coming months, following his clash with Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech last weekend.

Cech required surgery on a fractured skull after being caught by Hunt early on in the game at the Madejski Stadium, with the Irishman being accused in some quarters with deliberately making contact with the Blues keeper.

However, Hunt told the Reading evening Post: "I won't change my game. I will still try to get around the pitch. That's what I am all about.

"There will be more attention on me now. I won't change my game, but maybe I have to be careful about how I go around tackling.

"It won't be a problem because I'm clever enough to deal with any situations that might arise, such as tackles that come my way.

"In the next couple of weeks because I think I'll be a marked man. That is bound to happen."
