Brian McDermott denies falling out with Danny Guthrie

Reading manager Brian McDermott has insisted that he has no problem with Danny Guthrie.

The midfielder was dropped from the starting lineup for Saturday's 3-3 draw with Fulham, prompting speculation that there had been a bust-up between the manager and his player.

However, McDermott is adamant that there have been no disputes between the pair.

"There's no bust-up," said McDermott. "He wasn't selected to play for the game.

"So, I don't know where the reports are coming from. Danny was training yesterday."

Guthrie joined the Royals in the summer from Newcastle United.
