Mekki to miss out for Shots Adam Mekki is expected to miss Aldershot's clash with Bradford. The midfielder was forced off with a nasty ankle injury at half-time in Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Crawley and is certain to be absent at the EBB Stadium, although it is unclear how long he faces on the sidelines until test results are obtained. Michael Doughty, making his first start since arriving on loan, also limped off late on carrying a knock and will be assessed, as will Darren Jones (ankle). Loanee Ben Smith comes back into contention having been ineligible to face his parent club while fellow midfielder Troy Brown has also now completed his three-match suspension. Striker Guy Madjo is pushing to regain his starting berth having surprisingly dropped to the bench in midweek in favour of Wilko Risser. Ross Worner (back), Alex Rodman (pulmonary embolism) and Michael Rankine (leg) will play no further part this term. Bradford will be without suspended striker Craig Fagan but midfielder Ricky Ravenhill is back in contention after his ban. Fagan, who operates on the right wing, sits out one match following his two yellow cards in the midweek home defeat to AFC Wimbledon, so Will Atkinson will be vying with Deane Smalley for a place in the starting line-up. Ravenhill has missed the last two matches after recently reaching 10 yellow cards and manager Phil Parkinson must decide whether to include him in the starting line-up as Lee Bullock and Ritchie Jones have let nobody down in central midfield in his absence. Midfielder Michael Flynn returned to the substitutes' bench in midweek following a thigh injury and is also in contention, as is right-back Simon Ramsden, who has missed the last six games due to a hamstring problem. Another defender, Robbie Threlfall, remains sidelined with a thigh injury.
