Matt Smith is set to be handed his Fulham debut in Saturday's clash against Reading.

The 25-year-old striker was signed on transfer deadline day from Leeds United and is poised to rekindle his partnership with Ross McCormack at the Madejski Stadium.

Elsewhere, Whites boss Felix Magath has no fresh injury problems as his side search for their first Championship win of the season against an injury-ravaged Royals outfit.

The Cottagers are without Australian frontman Adam Taggart, who faces six weeks on the sidelines after going under the knife to fix a groin problem this week.

Bryan Ruiz, who failed to secure a move away from the club, will also miss out as he is away on international duty with Costa Rica.
