Reading fans and players were without a match over the weekend with the side missing key players during the international break.
However, not everyone connected with the club enjoyed a weekend off.
Five players are out on loan in the British Isles until January, enduring mixed spells up to date as under a month-and-a-half remains of their contracts.
Take a look below at a loan roundup.
The hoops have long run royal through the family history of Louie Holzman šµāŖ
ā Reading FC (@ReadingFC) June 30, 2022
The 18-year-old centre-half signed a pro contract with the Royals last week, having made his first team debut last season.
And he follows in the footsteps of his ancestors...#morethanoneofourown
Louie Holzman
A defender with a deep history with Reading- having grandfathers, uncles and a father spend time on the books of the Royals- the 19-year-old went on loan to Irish side Bohemian after making two appearances for Reading.
Unfortunately, it has been a tough move for the central defender, playing just twice in all competitions to date.
He has been on the bench for eight out of nine Premier Division matches but is yet to get on the pitch.
Jay Senga
A teenage midfielder who caught the eye in brief cameos last season, the 19-year-old played 66 minutes against Ipswich Town in the Carabao Cup in August.
Joining Scottish Championship side Ayr United until January, the Belgium youth international has been a regular at Somerset Park.
Making four appearances, winning two and losing two, Senga is yet to play a full 90 minutes.
Dean Bouzanis
Reading's starting keeper for the curtain-raiser against Peterborough United, the Australian linked up with former club Sutton United in August.
Recently making his 100th appearance for the club, the 32-year-old has played the last six consecutive League Two matches.
Sitting bottom of the whole Football League, Bouzanis conceded four on Saturday in a 4-1 defeat to Doncaster Rovers.

Jokull Andresson
A popular figure at all the clubs he has been at, 22-year-old Andresson is on loan at Carlisle United in League One.
Keeping one clean sheet in six third-tierĀ appearances to date, the Icelander is yet to return to the starting side since picking up a red card against Wycombe Wanderers last month.
