Harambee Stars forward Ayub Timbe and his teammates at Reading have agreed to defer their monthly wages for May, June, and July so as to help the English Championship club cope with the coronavirus pandemic. It is the second-tier club, currently ranked 14th on the 24-team league standings, which confirmed the move. “The Covid-19 crisis continues to inflict widespread disruption to football, business, and normal everyday life throughout the United Kingdom (UK) and our club, like all others, is striving to successfully navigate its way through the implications this virus is having on our operation,” read the club statement. Timbe and his teammates returned to training this week after the British government relaxed lockdown measures put in place to curb the spread of the coronavirus. The 27-year-old is on loan at Reading from China’s Beijing Renhe and has in the past confirmed he is hoping to turn the move permanent.
