Reading duo Stephen Quinn and Hal Robson-Kanu are facing several weeks on the sidelines.
Midfielder Quinn is set to be out until the new year after undergoing knee surgery while winger Robson-Kanu suffered an ankle injury on international duty with Wales.
Boss Steve Clarke told Get Reading: "Stephen won't be with us probably until the end of December or January.
"He's had an operation that we were hoping we could avoid. But he's had to go in and have surgery and we're now looking at maybe 10 weeks from now until he's back.
"It's a blow for Stephen. But he'll work diligently on his rehab and get himself ready.
"There's also bad news on Hal. He doesn't need an operation but it's an injury which will probably keep him out for between six to eight weeks."
