Royals defender Andre Bikey picked up his fifth yellow card of the season this weekend and faces a one-match ban.

He will now miss our Coca-Cola Championship trip to Swansea City on Saturday 17th January.

Suspensions incurred for five bookings come into place seven days after the offence, meaning Andre is still free to face Watford this Friday evening.

The defender was cautioned for a foul on Jay Bothroyd just before the hour mark, conceding a free kick from which Ross McCormack went on to make it 1-0.

Bikey has already served a three-match suspension this season following his red card at Cardiff in our League game at Ninian Park back in November.
