Peterborough United are not in the running to sign highly-rated Colchester United right-back...and here's how they could line up at Reading on opening day

The first Peterborough United starting line-up of the 2023-24 season will have an unfamiliar look.

But don’t expect it to include Junior Tchamadeu at right-back.

The 19 year-old was linked with a move to Posh over the weekend, but, although the club recognise the reigning League Two young player of the year is a top talent, the PT understands they have not made a bid for him.

Tchamadeu will command a considerable fee and has Championship clubs Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers battling it out for his services so any Posh interest was likely to be unsuccessful.

Posh are committed to building a young squad for the coming season which starts in 19 days with a trip to Reading on Saturday, August 5.

Using just exisiting squad players, and discounting those on the transfer list, here is how Posh could line-up at the Select Car Leasing Stadium, although they are seeking a goalkeeper, a right-back, a left-back and a forward before the serious stuff starts!
