Following the closure of the summer transfer window, EFL clubs have submitted their official squad lists which will take teams through until the summer.

Still contending with strict regulations and operating under a transfer embargo, only one player arrived in the window while Femi Azeez exited permanently alongside goalkeepers Dean Bouzanis and Jokull Andresson on loan moves.

Clubs are asked to submit a maximum of 22 in-squad players to the league after every transfer window, which does not include goalkeepers or players under 21 at the start of the year.

The Royals started this time last year with 11 senior players, a figure which dropped to 11 in January and has remained the same for this window.

28 players have been named Under-21, which includes the likes of Charlie Savage, Tyler Bindon and Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan.

The 11 senior players listed are:

  • Chem Campbell
  • Harlee Dean
  • Jeriel Dorsett
  • Ben Elliott
  • Harvey Knibbs
  • Amadou Mbengue
  • Tivonge Rushesha
  • Sam Smith
  • Charlie Wellens
  • Lewis Wing
  • Andy Yiadom

Meanwhile, those younger players are:

  • Kelvin Abrefa
  • Adrian Akande
  • Joseph Barough
  • Boyd Beacroft
  • Tyler Bindon
  • Coniah Boyce-Clarke
  • Mamadi Camara
  • John Clarke
  • Kiyan Coke-Miles-Smith
  • Michael Craig
  • Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan
  • Jacob Borgnis-Hammond
  • Louie Holzman
  • Jerae Jones
  • Abraham Kanu
  • Tom Norcott
  • Jeremiah Okine-Peters
  • Emmanuel Osho
  • Harrison Rhone
  • Matt Rowley
  • John Ryan
  • Tyler Sackey
  • Charlie Savage
  • Jay Senga
  • Shay Spencer
  • Michael Stickland
  • Basil Tuma
  • Jayden Wareham 

For comparison, the next nearest in terms of aged 21+ is Exeter and Wigan (16). However, Reading are among the largest total squads with 39 (11:28). Only Birmingham (50), Barnsley (42), Shrewsbury (42) and Charlton (40) have larger totals.
