Coronavirus: Timbe and Reading FC set for probable June Championship restart

With Ayub Timbe yet to find his footing at Reading FC, the Kenyan winger is expected to start his fight for a permanent position when the Championship could resume during the weekend of 20 June 2020.

Timbe's time at the club saw him sparingly used before the league was cancelled due to the novel coronavirus but with EFL putting a possible date of resumption on June 20, it is another chance for the Kenyan winger to show his capabilities.

The 27-year-old star is on loan at Reading from Beijing Renhe until the end of the season.
