Liam Gibson could make Grimsby debut against Bradford

Liam Gibson could be included in the Grimsby squad when they get their home campaign under way against Bradford.

The left-back, on loan from Newcastle, missed the opening day win at Morecambe with a groin strain.

Harry Cardwell was also absent last week and the striker looks set to remain on the sidelines.

Charles Vernam was nursing an ankle issue at Morecmabe but he was fit enough for the bench and the striker could feature if Town boss Michael Jolley opts to make any changes.

Bradford have been dealt a big injury blow with the news that Joe Riley will likely miss the whole season with a knee problem.

The 22-year-old defender suffered the injury in training last week and scans have showed damage to his cruciate ligament. He is set to undergo an operation.

The Bantams were also without Paudie O’Connor and Shay McCartan on the opening day of the campaign, with both players yet to fully regain fitness.

Winger Luca Colville, who is on a week-to-week deal, has not been able to train due to illness.
