Reading FC manager Noel Hunt gave an injury update on his squad ahead of their trip to Lincoln City in League One.
The Royals boss is seeking his first win in the league since taking over from Ruben Selles.
Reading drew away at leaders Wycombe in his first match before they were thumped at home by Blackpool last weekend.
Amadou Mbengue will be absent from Saturday’s visit to Lincoln after suffering a concussion which forced him off at half-time in last week’s game against Blackpool.
Meanwhile, midfielder Ben Elliott, who was taken off in the second-half is likely to miss ‘months’ of action with a thigh injury.
However, there were also some positive updates as the boss confirmed that right-backs Andy Yiadom and KElvin Abrefa are both now back training on the grass ahead of returning to action soon.
Skipper Yiadom has been absent with injury since April while he recovers from a long-term injury, but isn’t expected to feature for the first-team until January at the earliest.
Forward Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan, who has been on the sidelines for a couple of months is expected to make a return within the next couple of weeks.
