Reading will be without captain Ivar Ingimarsson when in-form Leicester come to the Madejski Stadium.Ingimarsson was dismissed during the 4-1 defeat at QPR last Tuesday night and sits out a one-match ban as the Royals look for their first home win since January.
Left-back Ryan Bertrand may return after missing the thrashing at Loftus Road with a head injury so Darren O`Dea should move across from full-back to replace Ingimarsson.
Striker Noel Hunt remains sidelined with a knee injury so manager Brendan Rodgers will choose from Grzegorz Rasiak, Simon Church and Shane Long in attack.
Left-back Chris Armstrong remains a long-term absentee after knee surgery in the summer while Czech Republic international Marek Matejovsky is in contention for a first start in a month after impressing for the reserves.
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson has no fresh injury concerns.
Pearson introduced forward Paul Gallagher at half-time of last week's 2-0 defeat of Crystal Palace and after the former Blackburn man scored both goals he is expected to start.
Pearson also handed on-loan Manchester City full-back Ryan McGivern his first start last Tuesday and he will again start ahead of Bruno Berner.
Bulgarian defender Aleksandar Tunchev remains the only absentee as he recovers from another knee operation as Pearson looks to extend the Foxes' unbeaten run to five.
If Leicester can pick up three points they will move back into the play-off places.
