No fresh concerns for Royals
The Royals have not won a Championship fixture in front of their own fans at the Madejski Stadium since January - a run of 17 games.Rodgers will be without striker Shane Long, who is nursing an ankle injury which forced him to miss the Republic of Ireland's World Cup drama in Paris.That means Simon Church - fresh from scoring his first goal for Wales against Scotland last weekend - will partner Grzegorz Rasiak in attack against Ian Holloway's Seasiders on Saturday.Noel Hunt could be out for the rest of the season after knee surgery and full-backs Chris Armstrong (knee) and Julian Kelly (shoulder) are also sidelined.
