Bradford winger Garry Thompson is expected to shake off a rib injury in time to be included in the squad for the home game with Aldershot.
Thompson was forced off midway through the second half of the midweek draw at Port Vale after taking a whack in the ribs but has suffered only bruising and is likely to feature.
Left-back James Meredith, sidelined in recent weeks due to glandular fever, returned to full training this week but is not yet ready for match action, so Carl McHugh will continue in his absence.
Leading goalscorer Nahki Wells started on the bench on Tuesday night after sustaining a dead leg in last weekend's win at York and he is hoping to return to the starting XI.
Manager Phil Parkinson, who has no new injury or suspension worries, must decide whether to recall goalkeeper Matt Duke or stick with Jon McLaughlin, while defender Andrew Davies and midfield pair Kyel Reid and Nathan Doyle are also pushing for recalls.
