Jacob Butterfield in line to make his full debut when Bradford face Fleetwood

Bradford midfielder Jacob Butterfield will be hoping to make his full debut in the home game against Fleetwood.

Butterfield stepped off the bench in last week’s goalless draw at Wycombe for his first appearance since joining on loan from Derby.

Striker Billy Clarke could also start and make his second full debut for the Bantams after re-signing from Charlton last week.

Defender Kelvin Mellor (foot) and recent signing Calum Woods are scheduled to return to full training next week, while winger Sean Scannell (shoulder) is also still out.

Fleetwood defender Lewie Coyle is back in contention after completing a three-game ban.

But Coyle, on loan from Leeds, may have to be patient as Wes Burns has been outstanding for Joey Barton’s side since dropping into the right-back slot as cover.

Burns turned his ankle in last week’s home win against Charlton but is expected to be fit and skipper Craig Morgan hopes to return after recovering from a knock.

Striker Ash Hunter and midfielder Jack Sowerby are both pushing for a place in Barton’s starting line-up.
