Reading boss Ruben Selles has rolled out the changes for this evening's friendly at Cardiff City, with seven Academy graduates starting at the Cardiff City Stadium.

On a good run of form, having beaten Watford, Woking and Queens Park Rangers, only two fixtures and 10 days remain until League One gets underway at Birmingham City on August 10.

Saturday's goalscorer Femi Azeez keeps his place from the start, as does Ben Elliott and Amadou Mbengue.

Young goalkeeper Coniah Boyce-Clarke makes his first start in front of fans this season, with Michael Craig, Emmanuel Osho and Harlee Dean joining Mbengue in defence.

Jay Senga, Harvey Knibbs and Elliott line up in midfield, with Mamadi Camara and Sam Smith in a front three with Azeez.

Young defender Abraham Kanu, who picked up plenty of plaudits on Saturday, is among the substitutes.

Lewis Wing, Charlie Savage and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan are among the replacements.

Former Reading youngster Andy Rinomhota starts for the hosts, but fan favourite Yakou Meite is on the bench and could come on.
