Morais missing for Bradford

Bradford will be without suspended winger Filipe Morais for the home game against Oldham.

Morais sits out the second game of a three-match ban following his dismissal in the FA Cup replay defeat at Reading.

Defender Andrew Davies remains an injury doubt. He recently took a knock to the arm he broke in August and has missed the last three matches.

Deadline-day signing Tony McMahon could feature after arriving on loan from Blackpool but fellow defender Alan Sheehan joined Peterborough on Thursday and boss Phil Parkinson must decide whether to retain Christopher Routis in midfield.

Conor Wilkinson is expected to be back in Oldham's squad for the trip across the Pennines.

The striker missed Tuesday night's derby victory over Rochdale because he was in the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad for their game on Thursday, but he lands back in England on Friday ready for Latics' game the next day.

Rhys Turner scored twice in his absence but will hope his hamstrings are fine after coming off having felt a tightness in an area which has troubled him before.

Left-back Mat Sadler will be okay despite receiving a blow to the head and Liam Kelly (calf), Joseph Mills (hamstring) and James Wilson (calf) all trained on Thursday and could come off an injury list which still includes Jacob Mellis and George Elokobi (both hamstring).
