Reid was alleged to have elbowed Gronkjaer in the stomach as they tangled while waiting for a corner to be delivered during Blackburn's 3-3 draw against Birmingham on November 21.

Referee Neale Barry missed the incident but it was captured by televisions cameras and the FA launched disciplinary action after reviewing video replays.
