Bradford boss Hopkin set to be without Wright and Mellor for Charlton clash
Posted Friday, September 14, 2018 by PA
Bradford will be without Josh Wright and Kelvin Mellor for boss David Hopkin’s first home game in charge against Charlton.
Midfielder Wright and defender Mellor both sustained hamstring injuries in last week’s defeat at Blackpool.
Defender Adam Chicksen has a possible hairline leg fracture and midfielder Hope Akpan is not ready to return following a shoulder injury.
Winger Sean Scannell (groin) is also still out, so Hopkin could hand starts to youngsters Lewis O’Brien and Jordan Gibson.
Charlton’s latest signing Jamie Ward is expected to make his debut for the club.
Ward joined on loan from Nottingham Forest on deadline day and has returned from international duty with Northern Ireland unscathed.
Josh Cullen is available again after international duty with Republic of Ireland Under-21s and Tariqe Fosu is back in contention after a one-match ban.
Striker Billy Clarke is edging closer to his first appearance of the season following a long-term knee injury.
