Bradford AFC vs Gillingham - Ryan McGowan could miss rest of season with knee problem
Posted Friday, March 23, 2018 by PA
Bradford defender Ryan McGowan will sit out the home game against Gillingham and could miss the rest of the season.
The Australia international, sidelined since mid-February, is working his way back from knee surgery and faces a race to be fit for the World Cup.
Midfielder Matty Lund (hamstring) will be out for several weeks and goalkeeper Colin Doyle is on duty with the Republic of Ireland, so Lukas Raeder is likely to start.
Forwards Paul Taylor and Alex Jones (ankle) could be back in contention after returning to training this week.
Gillingham will be without forward Josh Parker, who is on international duty with Antigua and Barbuda.
Boss Steve Lovell has no new injury or suspension problems following the postponement of last week’s scheduled home game against Blackburn.
Bradley Garmston, Connor Ogilvie, Rhys Murphy and Liam Nash have all recovered from recent illness and will be in contention.
Midfielder Billy Bingham (broken ankle) is still out, but is making good progress towards his return to action.
