Norwich City vs Reading - Tettey set to miss out as Norwich take on Reading

Norwich are likely to be without midfielder Alex Tettey for the Sky Bet Championship visit of Reading.

Midfielder Tettey was taken off on a stretcher during the second half of Tuesday night’s draw at Barnsley after suffering a foot injury when accidentally stood on by team-mate James Husband.

Winger Onel Hernandez impressed when coming off the bench at Oakwell, so could be in contention to start, but forward Nelson Oliveira (calf) and midfielder Moritz Leitner are not expected back until after the international break.

Midfielder Marco Stiepermann is recovering from a hernia operation, while winger Matt Jarvis continues his rehabilitation from a long-term ankle injury, along with midfielder Tom Trybull (ankle/knee) and Louis Thompson (Achilles).

Reading will check on Liam Kelly and Chris Martin ahead of the trip to Carrow Road.

Midfielder Kelly missed the midweek 3-0 defeat at leaders Wolves because of a knee problem, so will be assessed.

Striker Martin, on loan from Derby, was also not involved on Tuesday night because of illness, but could be in contention to face Norwich, the club where he started his career.

Midfielder John Swift was rested in midweek as the Royals manage his return to fitness, so could feature at Carrow Road, while winger Garath McCleary (ankle), Omar Richards (calf) and defender Jordan Obita (knee) remain sidelined.
