Titus Sits Out Reading Game

Bramble, who is reportedly attracting a lot of interest prior to the January transfer window, picked up the knock in Frankfurt.

Roeder: "Titus got a kick on the calf in Germany on Thursday night and while there was some stiffness on Friday, it did not seem as though there was going to be a problem.

"After their exertions and efforts lately, I gave the first-team squad the weekend off and Titus went back home to Ipswich.

"But overnight on Friday, his calf blew up to twice its' normal size and he did the sensible thing by coming straight back to Newcastle so (club physio) Derek Wright could have a look at it.

"By doing so, we are hoping it will prevent Titus from being sidelined for too long."
