Team News: Blackburn Rovers recall striker Rudy Gestede

Rudy Gestede has shaken off a hamstring injury and lines up alongside Jordan Rhodes in attack for Blackburn Rovers' Championship match with Reading today.

Tommy Spurr, Jason Lowe and Chris Brown all miss out through injury for the home side.

Reading are without defender Michael Hector, who is serving a one-match suspension after accumulating five yellow cards this season.

Anton Ferdinand has resumed training, but is not yet fit enough to start.
