Former Nigeria U17 invitee Ovie Ejaria has been tipped to return from injury for Reading when they tackle Barnsley in the EFL Championship on Wednesday, December 11.
The Royals boss Mark Bowen is optimistic that Ejaria is in contention to return to the starting line-up for tonight's clash at Oakwell, having sat out the last two matches against Wigan Athletic and Birmingham City due to illness and a groin injury.
''I certainly hope so. On Friday, he had an issue with his groin, and he said it was a little better this [Saturday] morning but still really feeling it,'' Bowen told the Reading Chronicle, when asked about the availability of Ejaria.
''If it’s an inflammation issue it should settle down quickly with medication.''

Ejaria has been one of the standout performers for Reading since returning to the club in the summer transfer window, contributing to 5 goals (3 goals, 2 assists) in 15 league appearances.
In their last Championship game, Reading lost 3-2 to Birmingham City without Ejaria in the line-up.
