Reading McCarthy back to full training

Reading has been given a huge boost with the news their goalkeeper Alex McCarthy has returned to full training after spending around four months on the sidelines due to serious injury.

McCarthy has not featured at the first squad training sessions after picking up shoulder injury in Reading 1-1 draw with QPR in November. He has made just eight first-team starts this season.

However the club’s statement said the 23-year-old stalwart is ready to be back into action just in time to help his team in a tough battle against the relegation.
