Blackburn manager Paul Lambert is set to choose from the squad that beat Rotherham for his last match in charge. Defender Tommy Spurr (Achilles) will not return and midfielder Hope Akpan (ankle) is also set to miss out.
Blackburn have never lost at home to Reading in league competition, winning three, while three of the last six league meetings between the sides have ended goalless. Rovers haven't won any of their previous four league games at Ewood Park, which is their joint longest run without a win on home soil this season.
