Otherwise unchanged from Lincoln
Rubén Sellés has opted for just the single change as the Royals gear up to take on Wigan Athletic.
Defender Amadou Mbengue makes his first start since early September, replacing Andy Yiadom.
Tom Holmes therefore takes the captain's armband, with the rest of the starting eleven the same as it was last Saturday against the Imps.
David Button remains in goal, with the defence boasting three Academy graduates in the shape of Holmes, Nelson Abbey, and Jeriel Dorsett.
Michael Craig and Lewis Wing continue in midfield, whilst Harvey Knibbs will look to continue his goalscoring form following his equaliser at Lincoln last weekend.
Sam Smith and Femi Azeez round-out the side.
