Marcus Williams has re-joined SCUNTHORPE and is pushing to start while fellow new boy Ramon Nunez is also in contention for the Iron.
Preston v Swansea
PRESTON skipper Sean St Ledger suffered a knee injury during training with the Republic of Ireland and if he misses out, loan singing Bongani Khumalo could step in.

Reading v Portsmouth
The international break has given READING some respite from their injury woes with Adam Federici, Andy Griffin, Mikele Leigertwood and Jobi McAnuff all on the verge of a return. PORTSMOUTH have Danny Webber (knee) back in full training after a year on the sidelines but the striker isn’t ready to return and Pompey could be unchanged.

QPR midfielder Lee Cook featured for the reserves in midweek but won’t be considered, Martin Rowlands is also back at Loftus Road after a loan spell at Millwall but Neil Warnock could stick with the team that beat Doncaster.
