That leaves manager Steve Coppell still without three of his most experienced players, although midfielder Emerse Fae has played a reserve match since being sidelined by malaria.
Defender Graeme Murty (knee), midfielder Brynjar Gunnarsson (groin) and winger Glen Little (heel and hamstring) remain unavailable.
Reading (from): Hahnemann, Federici, Rosenior, de la Cruz, Ingimarsson, Bikey, Sonko, Cisse, Shorey, Oster, Kebe, Harper, Matejovsky, Hunt, Convey, Doyle, Kitson, Long, Fae.
