McAnuff a concern for Royals

McAnuff missed the 5-2 thrashing of Middlesbrough on Saturday with an ankle injury and could miss out again - especially after replacement Hal Robson-Kanu scored at the weekend.

Right-back Andy Griffin has been sidelined for the last three matches with an Achilles injury but has a chance of being involved, while deputy Shaun Cummings is also injured.

Midfielder Brynjar Gunnarsson has been filling in at full-back and he will do again if required.

Club captain Ivar Ingimarsson has been ruled out with a groin injury while Alex Pearce remains sidelined with a thigh strain, so former Blackburn man Zurab Khizanishvili is in line to keep his place.

Goalkeeper Adam Federici remains out with a knee injury so 21-year-old Alex McCarthy will continue.
