Newcastle travel down to Reading tonight to face Steve Coppell's side.

Michael Owen, who has been out for 10 months, is expected to finally make a return to the first team squad tonight.

Shola Ameobi, who has also been out for a long period of time, may also return.

Harper is still in for Shay Given, and Damien Duff is out for the rest of the season.

Sibierski and captain Scott Parker are doubts and will both have late fitness tests.

Sonko, Murty, Little and Convey are all injured on the sidelines for Reading, and Leroy Lita is suspended.
