Saeid Ezatolahi in the running for Reading bow

Reading should have summer signing Saeid Ezatolahi available to face Norwich.

The on-loan Rostov midfielder joined last month and got his visa in France last week.

Jordan Obita (knee) and Gareth McCleary (ankle) are long-term injury absentees.

Adrian Popa (ankle) and Dave Edwards (knee) are also unavailable for boss Paul Clement.

Norwich continue to be without skipper Grant Hanley, who is sidelined with a quad injury.

The defender could be out for up to two months and Christoph Zimmerman is likely to keep his spot after replacing Hanley for the 1-0 win over Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Kenny McLean (knee) and Louis Thompson (hamstring) will be back by the end of the month.

Carlton Morris (knee) and Matt Jarvis (ankle) remain out for the Canaries.
