Reading defender Jeriel Dorsett has returned to the matchday squad for the first time since September for this afternoon’s trip to Stevenage.
The full-back limped off during a 5-2 defeat at Bolton Wanderers but returns to the bench at the Lamex Stadium as the Royals return to League One action after a pair of cup fixtures.
Joel Pereira remains in goal, behind a back four of Michael Craig; Amadou Mbengue; Tyler Bindon and Andre Garcia.
Lewis Wing captains the side and is in midfield alongside Ben Elliott and Charlie Savage.
Chem Campbell, Harvey Knibbs and Mamadi Camara complete a front three without a recognised striker, likely a change in system from Ruben Selles’ previously preferred line up.
Jayden Wareham, on the bench, is the only recognised forward in the squad.
Dorsett is among the substitutes along with the likes of Adrian Akande and Shay Spencer.
