Late test for Smith

Swindon will check on Alex Smith ahead of the visit of Bradford.


Smith has missed the last two matches after aggravating a knee problem. If he continues to miss out then Raphael Branco is likely to keep his place in the Robins defence.


Midfielder Yaser Kasim looks to have joined a growing list of players who may not feature again this season after suffering a foot injury. Ryan Mason, Ryan Harley and Nile Ranger are already ruled out for the remainder of the campaign.


But defender Grant Hall will hope to be involved again having recently made his return to action as a late substitute against Brentford after 11 weeks on the sidelines.


Bradford will have James Meredith available for Easter Monday's clash at Swindon.


The 26-year-old defender has been out of action since breaking his foot in January, but boss Phil Parkinson has confirmed the Australian will be at least on the bench at the County Ground.


Parkinson could hand fit-again striker Aaron Mclean a start after he was fit enough to come off the bench in Good Friday's win over Peterborough following a recent hamstring injury, but James Hanson (groin) is still missing.


Midfielder Adam Reach will make the final appearance of his loan spell before heading back to parent club Middlesbrough.
