Midfielders to miss trip

16 July 2010 12:01
Key midfielders Michael Flynn and Tommy Doherty could both miss Bradford's Essex tour next week because of minor injuries. The duo are definitely out of the friendly at North Ferriby on Saturday and Bantams boss Peter Taylor will not risk them if he feels they are unable to play any part in the four southern-based matches coming up. New signing Doherty has not been able to train properly since hurting his calf in only his second session. Flynn, who played 45 minutes at Eccleshill, is suffering from a groin strain. "It wouldn't surprise me if both of those don't play down in Essex, which is a bit of a blow," Taylor told the club`s official website. "I'll take them if they've got a chance of playing later but if not, I'm not so sure. There are only so many rooms available and ideally I need to take 22 players that are fit and well. "I've got a few others who want to come on trial so I think I'll be looking at that."
