Kalas ruled out of Fulham’s trip to Reading

Fulham will again be without centre-back Tomas Kalas for their trip to Reading on Friday night.

The on-loan Chelsea defender is still struggling with a hamstring injury picked up in the 2-2 draw with Derby earlier this month.

Kalas was forced to miss the Boxing Day win at Ipswich and will also sit out the visit to the Madejski Stadium.[phone][/phone]

It is his second spell on the sidelines after a similar injury saw him miss six matches during September and October, when Fulham failed to keep a clean sheet.

Slavisa Jokanovic otherwise has a full squad to choose from, and hinted at changes to his line-up to keep his squad fresh during the busy Christmas period.

Third-placed Reading could restore former Brentford man John Swift to their line-up, after he made his return from injury as a substitute on Boxing Day.
