Bradford AFC vs Milton Keynes Dons - Bantams trio doubtful for date with Dons

Posted Tuesday, February 28, 2017 by PA

The Bradford trio of Nicky Law, Charlie Wyke and Mark Marshall will all be assessed before the home game against MK Dons.

Midfielder Law was forced out of Saturday's win at Port Vale in the second half after taking a knock and striker Wyke was also withdrawn due to illness.

Winger Mark Marshall played no part after sustaining a hamstring problem in the previous week's home draw against Bolton.

Defender Matt Kilgallon (shoulder) is still out, but striker Alex Jones scored against former club Vale at the weekend after making a surprise return off the bench following a hip injury.

The Dons have midfielder Ed Upson back in contention after he completed a two-match ban.

His return, together with Ben Reeves, Dean Lewington and Joe Walsh reappeared following injury and suspension at the weekend, means long-term absentee Scott Wootton (knee) is now the only player unavailable to manager Robbie Neilson.

Lewington had to settle for a place on the bench against Shrewsbury on Saturday but it will not be long before the captain is back in the Dons side.

Forwards Dean Bowditch, Robbie Muirhead and Nicky Maynard, along with Upson, will also be hoping for recalls in West Yorkshire on Tuesday night.
