Reading have postponed next month's trip to Stockport County due to having three players called up for international duty.

The Hatters have made a strong start to life back in the third tier, rising from the sixth tier into the third over the last seven years, with successive wins.

Sat top of the league after two match weeks, a trip to Edgeley Park is proving a tough ask so far.

However, the Royals will no longer be making the trip to Lancashire on September 7 due to international call-ups.

What would have been a first trip to Stockport since 1998, the Royals have not won at Edgelely Park since 1971.

The hosts say a new day and time for the game will be announced in due course.

Trips to Barnsley and Shrewsbury Town also currently fall on dates for international breaks so they look unlikely to go ahead as originally planned.

Reading trek to newly-promoted Wrexham on Saturday, with a sold-out away end following Ruben Selles' side to North Wales.

Crawley Town and Mansfield Town, the other two promoted sides, don't host Reading until after Christmas.
