Reading manager Ruben Selles will not be in the dugout for this evening's EFL Trophy clash with Brighton and Hove Albion, serving his one-match suspension.

The Royals boss was hit with an FA sanction for failing to adhere to regulations on New Year's Day, picking up three yellow cards this season.

The Spaniard was reportedly not informed of the suspension and was therefore on the touchline for the 3-2 win over Exeter City.

Fined £4,200 and given a one-match ban, the club also received a warning with regards to its future conduct and has been fined £2,500.

First Team Lead Coach, James Oliver-Pearce will lead in the dugout for the Royals tonight.

More than 400 supporters have made the journey to the AMEX Stadium, more than are expected to be here to support the hosts.
