Kenya’s Ayub Timbe featured for just 18 minutes in Reading's 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough at Madejski Stadium on Tuesday.
Timbe’s future at the Championship club remains unresolved as his short-term contract, signed in January 2020, edges closer to an end.
When Reading confirmed Charlie Adam, Tyler Blackett, Chris Gunter, Garath McCleary, Jordan Obita and Gabe Osho had extended their contracts, it stated Timbe and others would have their issues solved before the end of July.
