Sammy Igoe
Sammy Igoe will play in his first pre season game against Banbury tomorrow. The former Pompey winger who signed a new one-year contract last month has been nursing a stomach muscle injury over the summer.

Unfortunately though there is no place in the side for the defensive rock that is John Mackie, he is still suffering from the ankle injury that he suffered late last season. Striker Nathan Tyson will not play either, he suffered a thigh strain during Tuesday's win over Basingstoke.

Reading's clash with Banbury is scheduled to kick off at 3pm tomorrow (Saturday). Tickets will cost £5 for adults and £2.50 for children.

The starting line-up will be as follows: Phil Whitehead, Graeme Murty, Adie Viveash, Alex Smith, Steve Warren, Phil Parkinson, Sammy Igoe, Jamie Cureton, Anthony Rougier, Nicky Forster

The subs bench will be made up of academy players.

For those wishing to attend; get off at Junction 11 of the M40, signposted Banbury. After passing one roundabout turn left at the second into Concorde Avenue. Take the first exit at the roundabout before turning left at the traffic lights. After twenty yards turn right into Station Approach. Follow the road towards the stadium but turn right down the narrow single lane track and follow it up to the 'stadium'.
