Reading informed the EFL that they would be unable to fulfil the fixture at the Select Car Leasing Stadium due to a number of positive COVID-19 cases in their squad.

In light of the increased rate of transmissions from the Omicron variant of COVID-19, the EFL will review the circumstances surrounding the postponement and work with affected clubs to assist them throughout this challenging period.

A rearranged date for the fixture will be confirmed in due course.

Away tickets for Saturday's game will become invalid for any rearranged match (barcodes invalid). The Ticket Office will action a full refund for your ticket price on Friday 17th December. Please allow a minimum of five working days for this refund to be received.

We would like to wish those affected at Reading a full and speedy recovery.
