The Football Association have confirmed they will take no action against Stephen Hunt for the challenge which left Petr Cech with a fractured skull.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho claimed Reading winger Hunt had deliberately tried to hurt keeper Cech but disciplinary chiefs have found it impossible to prove any intent.
The FA reached the same decision about Ibrahima Sonko's challenge on Chelsea's substitute keeper Carlo Cudicini who was knocked unconscious later in the same game.
It has been accepted that referee Mike Riley saw the incidents and acted as he saw fit at the time.
In a statement, released on thefa.com, the FA said: "The FA can today confirm that no formal disciplinary action will be taken in relation to on-field incidents during the Reading - Chelsea match on Saturday 14 October.
"The FA has reviewed the incidents involving Stephen Hunt/Petr Cech and Ibrahima Sonko/Carlo Cudicini and has contacted referee Mike Riley, who confirmed that the match officials saw both incidents at the time. There will therefore be no further action."
