Reading, who are still hoping to gain an automatic promotion place, make the trip east to face Norwich at Carrow Road this Monday night.

Andriy Shevchenko admits he is unsure if he will secure a permanent return to Milan at the end of the season.

The 32-year-old is currently on a season-long loan at Milan from Chelsea after a disappointing spell at Stamford Bridge.

Shevchenko has struggled to establish himself in the Milan starting line-up this season, but he is keen to stay with the club.

“The truth is that I may not be given the chance to stay at Milan,” Shevchenko told Gazzetta dello Sport.

“I know that it has been a difficult season, but I would love to stay put.

“I will keep trying as hard as I can to prove that I can still do good things for this club.

“At least I am getting a chance to play some games now and that makes everything easier.

“It has been disappointing not to get more playing time, but that’s just the way it is at a club like Milan.”
