Reading have been boosted with the return of key injured stars for this afternoon's clash with Stockport County.

With an injury list as long as 10 names, and illness hitting the camp, Amadou Mbengue and Andy Yiadom remain out for some time.

However, Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan, Michael Craig and Jeriel Dorsett are all deemed fit enough for a place on the bench against seventh-place Stockport.

From the start, Joel Pereira remains between the sticks and behind a back four of Tivonge Rushesha, Harlee Dean, Tyler Bindon and Abraham Kanu.

Lewis Wing remains as captain in a midfield trio with Harvey Knibbs and Charlie Savage.

Chem Campbell, who extended his loan spell earlier in the month, comes back in and is in a front three alongside Sam Smith and Andre Garcia.

Kelvin Abrefa, Jayden Wareham and Tyler Sackey join Ehibhatiomhan, Craig and Dorsett on the bench.
