Mills set for Reading return

Centre-half Mills was forced to miss the goalless draw with Leeds last time out as he served a one-match ban but is back and will replace Zurab Khizanishvili in Brian McDermott`s starting XI.

Winger Jimmy Kebe could make his first start since October after finally recovering from his nagging knee injury after benefiting from an extra week off.

The Royals were not in action after last weekend`s trip to Sheffield United was postponed and McDermott could make a few changes.

Club captain Ivar Ingimarsson remains a long-term absentee with a hamstring problem as does central midfielder Brynjar Gunnarsson who continues to struggle with a thigh problem.
