Bradford City Boss Gives Updates On 3 Key Players And Kevin McDonald Opportunity For Duo

Bradford City boss gives updates on Liam Ridehalgh, Daniel Oyedoke and Kevin McDonald – plus an opportunity for duo

BRADFORD CITY manager Graham Alexander admits to having a selection poser as to who to go with on the left-hand side in defence in Saturday’s televised League Two game at Notts County.

Liam Ridehalgh missed out after coming off with a concussion in City’s home game with Barrow last weekend, while loanee Daniel Oyegoke – who came on as his replacement – is facing a spell on the sidelines which could require surgery after landing awkwardly in Alexander’s first match in charge.

He is being assessed back at parent club Brentford.

 

Lewis Richards and Ciaran Kelly, are vying to step in on the left at Meadow Lane.

Alexander, still without Vadaine Oliver and Alex Pattison, said: “They (Ridehalgh and Oyedoke) are both not available. Liam will be out for a couple of weeks with his issue. I think it has happened to him before with a concussion.

“He will just go through the right protocols until he is ready. Dan has had a scan on his collarbone/shoulder and we are still waiting for feedback from Brentford to whether that needs surgery or it doesn’t.

 

“It is an uncertain outcome for Dan, unfortunately, which is a real shame because we liked in what we saw in the first three days of being here.

 

“I communicated that to him on Friday before the game and when he got his chance, I thought he was looking good. But unfortunately, he picked up a really strange injury.
