Dylan Connolly in contention to return for Bradford
Posted Monday, October 21, 2019 by PA
Bradford’s injury-depleted squad could be boosted by the return of winger Dylan Connolly at home to Port Vale.
Loan signing Connolly missed the 2-1 win over Crawley with a tight calf and his swift return would be especially welcome as Harry Pritchard is rated doubtful after jarring his back on Saturday.
The Bantams are already short in attack as Clayton Donaldson has been ruled out until the new year after requiring toe surgery.
Matty Palmer, Jamie Devitt and Jordan Gibson have also been sidelined, but the Bantams have won three successive games to rise to second spot in Sky Bet League Two.
Port Vale could recall veteran striker Tom Pope to partner Richie Bennett in attack.
Pope, who has scored over 100 goals in three spells at Vale Park, was dropped to the bench for the 1-1 home draw with lowly Stevenage on Saturday.
Jordan Archer is another attacking option should manager John Askey decide to freshen things up after Vale slipped to 16th.
Luke Joyce and David Worrall are set to continue in midfield with Emmanuel Oyeleke ruled out until January after undergoing hamstring surgery.
