Captain Stephen Wright was sent home this week with flu whilst Elliott Ward has a back problem. Both are rated as doubtful whilst Dimi Konstantopolous may replace Keiren Westwood if the keeper's back injury does not get any easier.
Stephen Wright - flu
Leon Best should return up front whilst Aron Gunnarsson could make the bench.
For Reading, former Coventry City player Jay Tabb is expected to play at Right Back for the Royals, but Reading Boss Brendan Rogers is waiting for news on Reading's other former Sky Blue Matty Mills who has a knee injury.
If the former Man City, Doncaster and Southampton man does not make it, Reading have Ivar Ingimarsson available after suspension.
