Reading Academy graduate, Omar Richards, is preparing to feature in a European final after his Olympiacos team beat Aston Villa in the UEFA Conference League semi-final.
26-year-old Richards spent seven years on the books in Berkshire, making more than 100 appearances for the first team before moving to German giants Bayern Munich.
Winning the Bundesliga in his only full season in Bavaria, Nottingham Forest paid £8.5m for the full-back in 2022 but is still awaiting his debut for the Tricky Trees.
On loan in Greece with Olympiacos, Richards has made 14 appearances, including a 45-minute cameo in their 4-2 win over Aston Villa in the first leg of their semi-final.
Winning 4-2 on the night, and 2-0 in the second leg, Richards could line up against Fiorentina in the final on May 29.
Fellow Reading youngster Nelson Abbey, who joined Olympiacos in January, is ineligible for European matches but has played three times so far this campaign.
Reading-born Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, who moved from his hometown to Borussia Dortmund via Manchester City, could feature in this year's UEFA Champions League final against Real Madrid.
19-year-old Gittens has scored twice in 32 appearances for the German giants, including a Champions League goal against AC Milan.
