McAuley eager to bounce back

McAuley missed the 0-0 draw with leaders Wolves on Tuesday night due to a one-match ban butd is hoping to be recalled by manager Jim Magilton at the Madejski Stadium.He told Evening Star 24: "I'm dying to play. Sitting watching football when you are suspended is a nightmare, it really is a punishment."When you are injured you know you can't play but when you are suspended it is hard to take, especially because my booking at Preston was very soft."
