20 Man squad named for this afternoon's cup tie
Rubén Sellés has named his squad to take on Fleetwood Town in Round One of the Emirates FA Cup.
There are seven changes to the starting XI that took on Stockport County on Tuesday evening, with the Royals opting to rest members of the First Team as they continue through a congested period of fixtures.
Tyler Bindon takes the captains armband for the first time, a fantastic achievement for the 19 year old.
David Button, Ben Elliott, Tivonge Rushesha, Louis Holzman, Mamadi Camara, Ashqar Ahmed and Shay Spencer come into the starting XI. It's a first senior start for Ahmed, whilst Holzman will enjoy his first action in the senior team this season.
Joel Pereira and Lewis Wing are out of the matchday squad completely, whilst Michael Craig, Harvey Knibbs, Amadou Mbengue, Andre Garcia and Adrian Akande drop to the bench. Tyler Sackey and T'Shay St. Louis join them on the bench, with the latter set to make his debut for the first team if called upon.
