Bantams boosted by double return

Bradford manager Stuart McCall hopes to have Gareth Evans and Simon Ramsden back in his squad to face Bournemouth in League Two on Saturday.

Ramsden: Expected to be fit
Ramsden: Expected to be fit

Striker Evans missed the Johnstone's Paint Trophy penalty shoot-out win over Port Vale due to a foot injury, while defender Ramsden has been sidelined for three weeks with a calf strain.

Both players returned to full training this week and are hoping to prove their fitness but midfielder Lee Bullock is expected to feature after a one-game ban.

Teenager Luke Sharry made his first-team debut for the Bantams against Port Vale, but could revert to the substitutes' bench.

Striker Leon Osborne is out after injuring his ankle for the reserves against Grimsby this week.

Long-term absentees Peter Thorne (hamstring), Omar Daley (knee) and Stephen O'Leary (broken foot) remain sidelined.
