Reading fans not taking the flight over to Alicante for this weekend's friendly with AFC Wimbledon have the chance to catch the clash online.

Bringing to an end a week-long stay in Benidorm, the 26-man squad will face Johnnie Jackson's men on Saturday, July 8.

Open to supporters of both club's in person, the club have announced that a stream will be available to purchase for £5.

Kicking off at 10am British time, it marks the first friendly of the 2023/24 campaign.

Predominantly made up of Under-23 players, and with Ruben Selles yet to be officially confirmed while the Spaniard awaits his work visa, supporters can expect an inexperienced lineup against the Dons.

There will be a familiar face in the opposing side though, with former Royals captain Alex Pearce now plying his trade at Plough Lane.

This will be the second successive season the two sides have met, with Yakou Meite and Jeff Hendrick scoring in a 2-0 win over the same opposition last season.

Two more behind-closed-doors matches upon the squad's return, against Bristol City and QPR, are also available to stream later in the month.
