Burton Albion FC vs Bradford AFC - Mason Bennett returns as Brewers host Bantams

Mason Bennett will be back in the Burton squad for the visit of Bradford, one of his former clubs.

Bennett, on loan from Derby, suffered a head injury against Shrewsbury two weeks ago and has missed the last couple of games. The teenage striker returned to action in the Rams' Under-21 team on Monday, playing an hour, and he is available against Bradford, where he was on loan last season.

The Sky Bet League One leaders lost their leading scorer Abdenasser El Khayati to QPR during the final day of the transfer window, so Bennett may start.

John Mousinho (groin) and Mark Duffy (illness) have had minor problems this week but both players will be fit.

Bradford defender James Meredith is doubtful after twisting his ankle in training this week.

Striker Jamie Proctor will return to contention. He missed out against Fleetwood last Saturday before his loan move was made permanent, while new loan signing Wes Thomas is pushing for a start.

On-loan defender Reece Burke missed out against Fleetwood due to an Achilles injury but is hoping to be fit, as is winger Kyel Reid, who had an injection in his knee at the start of the week.

Winger Filipe Morais has returned to light training following a serious knee injury sustained in July, while midfielder Gary Liddle completed a permanent move to Chesterfield on Monday.
