Club captain Graeme Murty is back with the Royals after injury brought his loan spell at Charlton to an early end.

Murty picked up a calf problem in the Addicks' draw at Swansea on Saturday, and he will now receive treatment on the problem from our medical staff.

He was into the second month of a loan spell, and it was due to expire after tomorrow night's round of fixtures.

Murty played eight times for Phil Parkinson's men during his time at The Valley, and has played once for the Royals this season in a defeat to Cardiff in the FA Cup.

Meanwhile, Gylfi Sigurdsson scored a lovely goal as a substitute on his debut for Crewe at the weekend, helping them to a cracking 4-0 win at Brighton in a real six-pointer. World subscribers can watch the goal now.
