After tearing his hamstring against Leyton Orient last weekend, Jeriel Dorsett will be out for “eight to ten weeks.”
The 22-year-old defender had recently made a full recovery from a six-match absence due to injury.
“It will be an eight-to-10-week job because he tore his hamstring,” manager Noel Hunt told Reading Chronicle. “It is what it is; everyone is aware of what we have and need.
“What we currently have in this dressing room makes me proud, and that won’t change. We shall work with what we have, concentrate on it, and try our best to improve it.
On Tuesday night, Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan made a comeback to the starting lineup against Burton. He played one hour until Mamadi Camara took his place.
Hunt went on, “I was aware that he was growing weary.” “He was working hard.” Emotions take over, and while you want to have him around, you can’t afford to lose anyone right now.
Mamadi looked good and came on, in my opinion, which is good for us. Chem (Campbell) made it through; he was only now catching up after missing two or three weeks.
Despite goals from Michael Craig and Sam Smith in the second half, the Royals lost 3-2 against the Brewers.
Reading has now dropped to 10th place in the League One standings after losing four straight games across all competitions.
Following the final whistle at Pirelli Stadium, Hunt remarked, “I was probably the angriest man in there and rightly so.”
Because of the decisions that were made against us, I believed that we should have received more from the game and that it owed us something.
“I told them to keep going and not to get their heads down, but we failed because we lost focus.”
It was better than the previous Saturday. We achieved the proper balance while attempting to gain the right for the entire game.
“It is game management, and regardless of how you are feeling, you have to follow the game plan and what you know for the first ten minutes of the game, the last five minutes of the half, the first ten minutes of the second half, and the last five minutes.”
“Good teams are going to come to us, spend money, it is what it is,” he said in response to a question concerning Saturday’s game. To achieve a result, we’ll go and risk everything.”
