Bradford City boss Graham Alexander addressed the media ahead of Saturday’s League One clash with Peterborough United (15:00 BST).
Key updates:
-
Joe Wright: The defender is still sidelined under concussion protocols after his head injury in the EFL Cup win over Blackburn. Alexander expects the 30-year-old to rejoin full training on Monday.
-
Calum Kavanagh: The forward’s recovery from a shin problem has stalled, with a return to training not likely for a couple more weeks.
-
Antoni Sarcevic: Fit to feature this weekend. The 33-year-old went off with cramp after netting the winner in Tuesday’s 2-1 triumph at Stockport.
-
Nick Powell: The new signing will be managed cautiously, classed as a “rehab player” for now due to limited minutes over the past year following injury.
-
Curtis Tilt: Alexander labelled the defender a “monster” for his Stockport display, admitting Tilt’s standout showings as an opponent influenced the decision to bring him in this summer.
On transfers, Alexander confirmed there had been enquiries for some players, though those involved opted to stay put. Forwards Tyler Smith and Adam Wilson, however, have been told they can move on before their contracts expire next summer.
Despite Peterborough losing all four of their league fixtures so far, Alexander insisted his team won’t underestimate Darren Ferguson’s men, calling the match a real test.
