Reading have been rocked by the news that veteran former Chelsea and Leeds United defender Michael Duberry will spend the next month on the sidelines.
The 32-year-old, who had only recently recovered from a hamstring problem, picked up a calf injury in the opening stages of the Carling Cup victory against Luton Town.
Deflated Royals boss Steve Coppell told the club's official website: "Doobs popped his calf, and that usually means something reasonably significant so I can't imagine him being available for another three or four weeks from now.
"It's massively frustrating for him, because he's a really good pro and looks after himself."
