KATE RICHARDSON-WALSH is set to make her first appearance of the season for Reading when they entertain Holcombe in the Investec Women’s League at Sonning Lane on Saturday (1.30pm).

The England and Great Britain captain took a rest following the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and in recent weeks she has traveled around the world.

Fellow GB defender Emily Maguire also returns to Blues’ line-up after missing the last game at Leicester due to an ankle injury.
Also back in action after injury are Wales central-defender Leah Wilkinson and Wiz Hunt both of whom have recovered from recent injuries.

We welcome back to the Lane, Sam Quek, who although is now a Holcombe player, is still a Ding at heart !
The Kent side remain unbeaten in the league following three wins and four draw.

Squad: Ellis, Harper, Wilkinson, Evans, Maguire, Barnes, Thomas, Jones, Gilbert, Daly, Halle, Hunt, Cockburn, Saligoi, Caddick, Richardson-Walsh.

Reading men will again be without Simon Mantell and Timmy Lewis for their NOW: Pensions League match away to bottom club Brooklands MU on Sunday.
Both were injured in the 1-1 draw with Southgate a month ago.
Forward Mantell suffered mild concussion and that has left him with headaches when he runs.
Blues will also be without the unavailable Will Carter-Keall for the trip to Manchester.
Squad: Alexander, R Mantell, Springham, Jackson. Atkins, Freedman, Shingles, Newman (c), Clee, Clarke, Carson, Whelan, Heaver, Boon, plus one other.
