Lopez absent for Royals encounter
The playmaker suffered the injury in last week's Carling Cup win over Brighton and was absent for the weekend loss to Middlesbrough as a result.
Manager Paolo Sousa has no new injury problems to contend with but Ferrie Bodde (knee), Darren Pratley (shoulder) and Thomas Butler (groin) are long-term absentees.
Scottish striker Stephen Dobbie should retain his place in attack despite a string of glaring misses against Boro, although Gorka Pintado will be hopeful of pushing him hard.
Young defender Jamie Grimes has joined Haverfordwest on loan and will not play any part for the Swans this season as they go in search of a first league win under Sousa.
