South Korean international Seol Ki-hyeon of Reading FC will miss this weekend's match against Bolton Wanderers due to his back injury.

``The pain in my back is getting better. Although I am recovering, I am not sure when I will get on the pitch,'' the 28-year-old midfielder said Thursday.

The winger was replaced 25 minutes through the second half in the third round game against Everton and has been undergoing physical therapy.

However, Seol did not participate in the Royals' team practice.

``We don't have any definitive answers on a few players yet,'' said Reading manager Steve Coppell in a press conference.

``Seol and Duberry probably won't be fit to play.''
