AFC Wimbledon manager Johnnie Jackson / | PA Images via Getty Images It’s back to league action for the Royals after a second penalty win of the season, against Wycombe Wanderers on Tuesday.
Reading looked OK in that game, giving those who don’t start in the first team some minutes, and there were a few that I think made cases to start in this one. Plus, a new signing of George Earthy will bolster the midfield to give Reading arguably the best front six in the league.
AFC Wimbledon haven’t started the campaign great – similar to Reading it has been a loss in the league and two cup games that have gone to penalties. However, Wimbledon have only won one of their two shootouts, losing to Leyton Orient on Tuesday night.
Former Royal Andy Yiadom will be in the squad for the upcoming game alongside former wonderkid Steven Sessegnon in what is a very promising-looking Wimbledon side.
In this preview I will mention players who could find their way into the starting lineup, look at what Earthy gives to this Reading side and give my predictions on what the lineup could be.
It’s matchday two in League One and the Royals travel to Wimbledon on Saturday August 22 at 3pm.
Recent results indicate that this will be a good game. The odds say Reading are narrow favourites but you can never write off the home team. It will be referee Michael Barlow who brings us into this one at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.
Players who could enter the starting 11It was a bit of a boring performance from both teams in midweek, but there were a few stand-out players.
I thought Ashqar Ahmed had a great performance. He made seven defensive contributions as well as creating two chances. He had 83% pass completion and defensively he was solid. He could be our starting right-back for the upcoming few games.
Boyd Beacroft is another who, defensively, I thought had a great evening. He had the most defensive contributions in the match with 12. He also won six out of his seven ground duels and made six clearances. From the games we have seen this year, I think he has been our best centre-back.
Emmanuel Osho had a good match too. He had two shots and both were on target, and should have probably scored. He made two successful dribbles (out of three) and was very good on the wing. I doubt he will make the starting 11 but he can definitely make an impact off the bench.
Finally, Liam Fraser had a great game. He is one I thought would be in the starting 11 anyway, but he took his goal really well, with 75 touches and seven passes into the final third. Defensively he had a great match as well: seven recoveries, four clearances and 100% of his aerial duels won. I think he will start over Andy Rinomhota this weekend.
These four were my stand-out players, and the first three show that our Category 1 academy is still coming on strong.
George EarthyThe 2004-born attacking midfielder has been at West Ham United almost his entire career, with two loan spells at Bristol City. He has made five appearances total for West Ham, scoring one goal in the process, as well as making 51 appearances for Bristol City, scoring three and assisting two.
It was his 2023/24 season with West Ham under-21s that caught my eye: 32 appearances, 14 goals and 11 assists. What a year that was and I hope he’s able to bring a season like that to the Royals.
In his main season for Bristol City, when comparing him to others in his position, he is in the top percentages for goals, xG, xG on target, non-penalty xG, shots, shots on target, successful passes, touches in the opposition box and possession won in the final third.
He is very clearly a goalscoring midfielder and likes to have a crack at goal, which all of our midfielders do. But he seems to get it on target often, and with the goalkeepers in the league, I think he could score a few long-rangers, so Lewis Wing may have some competition.
He is also very two-footed. Being able to play from both feet gives so many more opportunities in the game.
He is a very exciting signing and I think he will be a big part of the squad.
My predictionsJoel Pereira will start in goal.
Ahmed, Beacroft, Paudie O’Connor and Jeriel Dorsett will be the back four.
Fraser and Wing will sit in front of the defence.
Daniel Kyerewaa, Earthy and Kyreece Lisbie will be the attacking three.
Sat in front of those three will be Jack Marriott.
Score prediction: 2-0 Reading!
Good luck to those going to the game!
Come on you Royals!
Will Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers be the best player to select at his position in fantasy football drafts this year?
Pro Football Focus’ Nic Bodiford touted Myers as being one of four candidates to finish as the overall fantasy football K1 in 2026 after his strong year last season.
”Myers’ excellent accuracy, coupled with head coach Mike Macdonald’s field goal affinity, should keep him in overall K1 contention.”
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey, Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates and Los Angeles Chargers star Cameron Dicker were all named as candidates along with Myers.
The 35-year-old Myers led the league in field goal attempts last season with 48, indicating how beneficial his usage is throughout the season. Myers finished with the second-most made field goals in the NFL last season with 41, though he went 9-12 on field goals from 50 yards out or more. He and went a perfect 48-48 on extra point attempts.
Myers was reliable for the Seahawks throughout the year and helped the team win the Super Bowl at the end of the season. More of the same may follow next season, and Myers remains a name to consider strongly in fantasy football drafts when it’s time to address the D/ST position.

Veteran point guard Dennis Schroder, the most recent Charlotte Hornets addition this offseason, suited up Friday for his home country of Germany in the 2026 DBB Supercup. The 2025 EuroBasket gold medalist was a force to be reckoned with as Germany dominated the Czech Republic 115-82.
Schroder was the only player to tally a double-double, scoring 17 points on 3-for-7 shooting from 3-point range to go along with 10 assists and two rebounds. He finished with a plus-minus of +23, the second-highest mark of any player. Orlando Magic forward Tristan da Silva impressed as well, posting 13 points, four rebounds and three assists in 20 minutes of play.
Following the victory, Germany will face Croatia Saturday in the DBB Supercup final after Croatia narrowly defeated Turkey 95-94. Cleveland Cavaliers forward Mario Hezonja was the hero for Croatia, scoring 37 points, which included a game-winning 3-pointer.

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 10: Hayden Wesneski #39 of the Houston Astros pitches against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on August 10, 2026 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Thien-An Truong/Getty Images) | Getty Images TONIGHT’S GAME: The first-place Houston Astros (64-64), who own a slim 1.0-game lead in the AL West over the Rangers, will open a huge three-game weekend series against the A’s (49-79) tonight at Daikin Park.
RHP Hayden Wesneski (2-1, 5.16 ERA) will make his fifth start of the season tonight and his first against the A’s, who are starting RHP J.T. Ginn (8-7, 3.53 ERA).
BIG WES: After missing 14 months with injury, RHP Hayden Wesneski has returned to the Astros rotation to make four starts, pitching into the 6th inning in three of four and recording two quality starts. This continues a strong run for Wesneski, who was great in his rehab outings, posting a 2.25 ERA (5ER/20IP) in five minor league rehab starts.
THE TURNAROUND: After a slow start to the season, the Astros are 44-33 since May 22, which is the second-best record in the AL in that span. On that date, the Astros were 20-31, 11 games under, which is their low water mark for the season.
THAT’S OFFENSIVE: Among American League teams, the Astros rank first in slugging (.410), first in total bases (1766), second in home runs (170), third in runs scored (583), and third in OPS (.727). In the Majors, the Astros rank third in homers, trailing only the Nationals (182) and Yankees (175).
WELCOME BACK JEFF!:2B Jeff Kent, who was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in July, will throw out tonight’s ceremonial first pitch. Kent spent two (2003-04) of his 17 MLB seasons with the Astros, helping the 2004 Astros advance to the NLCS. Kent authored one of the most iconic moments in Astros postseason lore, as he hit a walk-off homer in Game 5 of the 2004 NLCS vs. STL.
ASTROS ROSTER MOVES: The Astros have recalled RHP Kai-Wei Teng from Triple A Sugar Land today after optioning LHP Bryan King to Triple A last night. also, announced yesterday, the club recalled IF Raynel Delgado from Triple A and designated OF Nelson Velázquez for assignment.
ON THE MEND: The Astros have four players on the Major League Injured List. There are updates on three:
• RHP Mike Burrows (rt. elbow neuritis) made his second rehab start at Triple A Sugar Land last night, tossing 4.2 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and two walks with five strikeouts on 78 pitches.
• IF Carlos Correa (lt. ankle tendon injury) is participating in baseball activity, including a hitting and a running progression.
• OF Brice Matthews (lt. knee sprain) is participating in on-field baseball activity and a running progression.
MVP-CALIBER: Yordan Alvarez holds the lead in all AL Triple Crown categories, ranking first in average (.319), first in HR (36) and first in RBI (88). Additionally, he leads MLB in OPS (1.045), OBP (.432), SLG (.613), and TB (279). In the AL, he ranks first in XBH (62), and second in hits (145), walks (87), and runs (84).
YOR-GONE!: DH Yordan Alvarez has hit 36 home runs this season, which leads the AL. He’s just one homer shy of matching his career high in homers, which was 37, hit in 2022.
HIT PAREDES: 3B Isaac Paredes has hit safely in nine of his last 12 games (since Aug. 7), including six multi-hit games, while batting .378 (17×45) with four doubles, one home run, seven RBI, and a .973 OPS in that span.
THE CLOSER: LHP Josh Hader has made 500 career appearances and is the 15th active pitcher to reach that milestone. Hader has been stellar since returning from injury in June, going 4-1 with a 0.87 ERA (3ER/31IP), 41 strikeouts, a .123 opponent average (13×106) and a 0.77 WHIP, while converting all 18 of his save chances in 32 appearances.
VS. THE A’S: The Astros are 3-3 against the A’s this season but have not seen them in over two months since they took two of three games in Houston from June 5-7. After this series, the two clubs will match up for a four-game series in Sacramento to end the regular season from Sept. 24-27.

Inter Milan sign Curtis Jones from LiverpoolInter Milan have completed the signing of Curtis Jones from Liverpool in a deal worth up to £30m.
The Serie A champions will pay an initial £25.7m for the 25-year-old midfielder, with a further £4.3m available in add-ons. Liverpool have also negotiated a 10% sell-on clause, while Jones has signed a contract with Inter until 2031.
The move brings an end to Jones’ 16-year association with Liverpool, having joined the club’s academy at the age of nine before making his senior debut under Jurgen Klopp in 2019.
Jones went on to make 228 appearances for the Reds and featured 49 times in all competitions last season, although only 18 of those came as Premier League starts.
With the midfielder entering the final year of his Liverpool contract and struggling to secure a regular place under Arne Slot, the club ultimately agreed to his departure.
Jones becomes the latest English player to join Inter this summer as he begins a new chapter in Serie A.
MUNICH, GERMANY - AUGUST 15: Jamal Musiala of FC Bayern Muenchen had to be substituted due to an injury during the Telekom Cup match between FC Bayern München and RB Leipzig at Allianz Arena on August 15, 2026 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by Christina Pahnke - sampics/Getty Images) | Getty Images Jamal Musiala’s return to fitness has been long and complicated.
First, Musiala endured a long spell on the sidelines after suffering a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle. Then, after earning valuable minutes at the World Cup, the 23-year-old suffered another unnerving setback, collapsing in Bayern’s Telekom Cup clash against RB Leipzig, and again in his side’s final preseason friendly against Heidenheim.
Despite overwhelming support for Musiala, rumours have started circulating linking Bayern to a replacement for Musiala after learning about his condition. However, according to Steffan Kumberger of Sport1 (via @iMiaSanMia), discussions about replacing the German international are a non-starter as the club plans to provide the time and support Musiala requires.
Signing a replacement for Jamal Musiala has never been up for discussion at the club. Bayern believe they’re very well equipped in the position with Ismael Saibari, who was signed when Bayern were already aware of Musiala’s problems, as well as Serge Gnabry and Lennart Karl who can provide additional cover. In addition, the club does not want to give Musiala the feeling that they’re giving up on him. The 23-year old will get all the support and time he needs, and Bayern are also relaxed because the team had already performed exceptionally well without Musiala last season. Therefore, there’s no rush and no panic at the club – and Musiala can take his time and slowly regain a key role in the team.
Fans long for the day of seeing Bambi back to his brilliant best, prancing around bamboozled defenders. But some things are paramount to football.
Bayern Munich and it’s fans will be fully behind Musiala as he makes his recovery and return to full fitness.

Most Valuable Promotions returns with another boxing card this weekend, bringing Amanda Serrano back to the ring for a featherweight title defense against Lucrecia Manzur in California. The event will stream live on TikTok as Serrano puts her WBA and WBO featherweight titles on the line.
Serrano (49-4-1) enters on a two-fight winning streak following her trilogy with Katie Taylor, which ended with Taylor winning all three bouts. One of the most decorated fighters of her generation, “The Real Deal” has won world titles across seven weight classes and spent much of her career competing on boxing’s biggest stages.
The Puerto Rican star now has another piece of history within reach. Serrano enters the fight with 32 knockout victories, tied with Hall of Famer Christy Martin, and can move ahead of Martin with the 33rd stoppage win of her career.

"I understand that. I mean, no one knows; no one's going to say, 'Oh, yes, I'm gonna be her 33rd victim.' I know she came to fight, so that's even a better and a sweeter victory when I do get it… You guys are in for a treat. You guys are in for a war... I fight for you guys, and I give it all I got," Serrano said.
Manzur (14-4) has won five straight. The Argentinian has seven knockout wins and competes in her first world title fight. A massive underdog, the 27-year-old looks for the upset.
"I’m aware that it's all about Amanda Serrano. It's her show, but I've trained very hard for this fight. I know she's looking for that knockout, but she's going to have to find someone else to knock out because it's not going to be me," Manzur said.

Caitlin Clark. Credit: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectCaitlin Clark continues to earn praise off the court. Fans discovered she donated $2,000 to a fundraiser for a late Indiana Fever supporter. The gesture quickly spread across social media.
Jessica Schoffel passed away in July. She was a dedicated Fever fan known online as @FeverBandwagon. Friends and family created a GoFundMe in her memory.
"Jessica Schoffel (October 8, 1981 – July 17, 2026) of Acton, MA grew up in Trumansburg, graduated from Charles O. Dickerson High School in 1999 and was a beloved elementary school teacher in Littleton, MA. As a kindergarten student, she joined her parents, Linda and Rob, in the original Trumansburg Community Playground build," the fundraiser reads.
"In memory of Jessica, we will donate buddy bench(s) to the Trumansburg Playground. A buddy bench is designed to help kids combat isolation and bullying, encourages students to practice empathy and to invite their peers to join in play, goals which were always a priority in Jessica's classroom. We will also donate children's books about the concept of buddy benches for teachers to use in their classrooms."
