Royal Jem returns
Reading will have midfielder Jem Karacan back in the fold for the trip to take on Crystal Palace.
Karacan has missed the last three games through suspension but is available again.
Central defender Alex Pearce is still missing with a thigh injury, while Alex McCarthy will continue in goal.
The 21-year-old made his full debut for the Royals in the midweek win over Millwall as number one Adam Federici continues to be troubled with a knee injury.
The Australian was forced off with six minutes remaining of the 1-1 draw with Watford last Saturday so Mikkel Andersen will be on the bench as cover.
Striker Mathieu Manset is a doubt with a calf injury so former taxi driver Brett Williams could be on the bench again.
