Williams back for Bantams Bradford manager Peter Taylor has Steve Williams available for the game against Hereford. Williams has now returned to training following a groin injury, and after having his comeback delayed due to the bad weather is ready for a return to the Bantams squad. Dave Syers is also expected to be recalled to the squad after recovering from a groin problem while Omar Daley is pushing for a starting place after influencing the game when coming on as a substitute in City's last game. Lee Bullock will be hoping for a promotion from the bench while Tom Adeyemi has benefited from the weather, giving him longer to recover from a knock to his foot. Long-term absentees Lewis Hunt and Shane Duff are closing in on a return. Hunt has been suffering with knee ligament damage and Duff has struggled with an Achilles problem, but both are expected to make their comebacks over the Christmas period. Hereford caretaker manager Jamie Pitman has received mixed team news. Influential midfielder James McQuilkin (hamstring) and club captain Janos Kovacs (shoulder) both return into contention after long-term absences. And their comebacks are timely with the loss of Richard Rose and Rob Purdie to illness, while defender Ryan Green continues to serve his three-match suspension due to a raft of recent postponements. Green saw red late on in the 4-0 defeat at Shrewsbury but has so far only missed one match - the FA Cup draw against Lincoln - with the league clash against Morecambe and cup replay with the Imps falling foul of the big freeze. Forward Guillem Bauza has managed two substitute cameos since his return from a groin injury and will be hoping for more game time, but Ryan Valentine and Dan Connor (both hip) are looking at around three to four months before they are back in the frame.
