After missing the Newcastle match and having to pull out of the England friendly because of the hamstring injury he sustained in our defeat to Fulham, Gabby is raring to go again and could well get the chance against Reading.
He returned to training earlier this week and Martin O’Neill is confident he will be available for selection.
‘Gabby is fine. He did a little bit of training, the pitches were too frosty on Tuesday, but he did some training indoors. It was the first day he had joined in with us.
‘Hopefully he will get a full week of training in now and then see how he is. He has been raring to go now and has been for some days, but we didn’t let him join in in any of the training sessions in Malaga. It was purely precautionary.’
In other injury news, Martin Laursen has also recovered from a heel problem.
