Fairly easy to work out that Godden, Berry, Burke and Mannion are injured as they haven't played (bar Burke's one appearance v Dartford) in preseason.
JRC and Leaburn didn't make the bench yesterday so possibly have knocks too.
L Jones went off after over stretching v Southend but N Jones suggested it wasn't an issue.
Knibbs hasn't play much pre-season for Reading which might mean an injury or just that Reading wouldn't risk an injury to a possible transfer.
Re Mannion, Rich Cawley’s latest (excellent) article on Substack says the reason Mannion has missed all of the games in pre-season is due to a calf issue.

Yes TC was influential (until the last few games only) but Jones was the main factor. I don't know yet if we have adequate cover. Too soon to say.
But I agree don't risk him.
