Squad for Bradford

Last updated : 10 October 2003 By Site Editor
Chris Makin, Tommy Miller, Drissa Diallo and Martijn Reuser are still all ruled out due to injuries and Darren Bent is also set to miss out after being called up on international duty for England Under 21's match against Turkey tonight in Istanbul.

Georges Santos is included in the squad however, although is rated to be doubtful for Saturdays Nationwide League Division one clash, as Joe Royle told the official club website: "Georges stopped training on Thursday because he could feel the injury but hopefully it is not too serious. We will have another look at him before we travel to Bradford on Friday afternoon."

Should Santos fail to be ready in time, normally the blues would call up Aidian Collins, but with the young defender being strechered off in the recent reserves game at Charlton, and Chris Hogg off on loan, Town may well be short for cover at tha back, and youngster Gerard Nash will be at least guranteed to be starting on the bench, and should Santos fail to make it, may well start.

Full Squad: Armstrong, Bart-Williams, Bowditch, Counago, Davis, Kuqi, Magilton, Mahon, Nash, Naylor, Price, Richards, Santos, Westlake, Wilnis, Wright
