Duo return for Reading

Reading welcome back defenders Ivar Ingimarsson (ban) and Andre Bikey (international duty) for this weekend’s Premier League visit of Aston Villa.

Midfielder Emerse Fae is also back from the African Nations Cup, and winger Bobby Convey is available again on Sunday following treatment overseas on his rebuilt knee.

Provisional squad: Hahnemann, Federici, Murty, de la Cruz, Rosenior, Ingimarsson, Cisse, Sonko, Bikey, Shorey, Golbourne, Oster, Harper, Fae, Matejovsky, Hunt, Convey, Kebe, Doyle, Kitson, Lita, Long.
