Reading boss Brian McDermott has rubbished suggestions he has frozen Alex Pearce out at the struggling Premier League club.
McDermott also revealed midfielder Danny Guthrie, who was overlooked at the weekend, was a doubt for this Saturday's trip to Everton after picking up a calf injury. He said: "He wasn't selected for the squad (at the weekend). He (also) didn't train this morning with a slight calf problem."
