Brian McDermott welcomes Reading trio's return

Reading manager Brian McDermott has told BBC Radio Berkshire that the return of three players for the game against Walsall is a big boost for his club.

Paul McShane and Michael Hector have recovered from short-term knocks, and Aaron Tshibola is available for selection after three months on the sidelines with an ankle injury.

The Royals face Walsall on Saturday in the fourth Round of the FA Cup, a game the ex-Leeds United manager said would be "a real test" for his side.
