The Club has confirmed that a minute's applause will be held before Saturday's game with Southampton as to celebrate the life of Stewart McEwan, at the request of his family.

Reading players will also be wearing black armbands as a mark of respect for the Academy goalkeeper, who passed away at the age of 13 in a canoe accident on a school trip last weekend.

The Club has consulted closely with Stewart's family before making the decision, which has been ratified by the Football League.
