Royals will go into tomorrow's vital game with Spurs without two of their star players. 

Emerse Fae and Ibrahima Sonko have been suspended by boss Steve Coppell for the rest of the season after refusing to play for the reserves on Monday.

Coppell said: "I want people here who are committed to the club, not themselves."

Fae was not impressed with the decision though.
"It's not clever to suspend your own players - that's stupid," he said. 
"The sanction is too heavy. Axing two players from your own struggling team is not coherent at all."

Ivory Coast midfielder Fae joined in a £2.5million deal from Nantes last summer, while Senegal international Sonko arrived on a free transfer in 2004.
