Reading boss Brendan Rodgers is unlikely to make any changes to his side for the visit of Ipswich to the Madejski Stadium on Saturday.

The Royals are still chasing their first home league win of the season and Grzegorz Rasiak will partner Simon Church in attack.

Jimmy Kebe could return to the squad after a groin problem, but Noel Hunt, Chris Armstrong (both knee) and Julian Kelly (shoulder) remain sidelined.

Defender Liam Rosenior has been given permission to play for Ipswich against his parent club having joined Town on loan at the end of August.

Alex Bruce will play at centre-half in the absence of Gareth McAuley, who has a thigh problem, while Tommy Smith is also out with a hand injury.

David Norris continues his rehabilitation from a knee injury, while winger Luciano Civelli is also recovering from knee ligament damage.
