Reading have suspended Emerse Fae and Ibrahima Sonko for two weeks following a breach of club discipline.

Reports suggested midfielder Fae and defender Sonko had refused to play in a reserve match on Monday.

Royals manager Steve Coppell told the club website: "As far as I'm concerned it is an internal measure and it has been dealt with.

"I don't want to take anything away from what is important, that's our game against Tottenham on Saturday."

606: DEBATE Sonko and Fae on way out?

The ban effectively rules the pair out for the rest of the season with their final game of the campaign in 10 days time.

Fourth-from-bottom Reading, who are just one point ahead of 18th-placed Birmingham, face Spurs at home before a trip to Derby for a match which could decide their Premier League future.

Coppell was reported to be furious when Sonko and Fae said they would not play against Tottenham reserves at Aldershot.

Club captain Graeme Murty and John Oster were among the first-team squad members who did turn up for the 2-2 draw.
