Reading defenders Jeriel Dorsett and Tyler Bindon have been called up for international duty with Montserrat and New Zealand respectively.

22-year-old Dorsett, who rose through the Royals youth ranks and made nearly 30 appearances last season, has become a regular for the Caribbean nation this year.

Versatile at central defence and full-back, he will aim to play in their 2026 World Cup qualifier against Nicaragua this evening.

EFL regular Lyle Taylor, who played against the Royals for Cambridge United this season, is also in the squad for the island.

Similarly, 19-year-old Bindon enjoyed a breakout campaign after moving from LAFC.

The teenager made over 40 appearances in his first season as a professional and finished in the top three for the Player of the Season poll.

The central defender will look to add to his six caps to date in OFC Nations Cup matches against Fiji and Vanuatu this month.

The All Whites enter the tournament as the defending champions after lifting the trophy in 2016 and the 2020 edition being cancelled due to Covid.

Bindon is one of ten Under-23 players in the squad who are eligible for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris in July.
