Bantams welcome back defensive trio

The Bantams have played just one game since November 23 and defenders Rob Kiernan, Luke Oliver (both hamstring) and Steve Williams (groin) have all had the chance to overcome their injuries.

However, Peter Taylor`s men could face more frustration as the Whaddon Road fixture remains in doubt, with the Robins asking for volunteers to help clear the pitch with snow.

Shane Duff has also returned to training after a two-month absence with an Achilles problem, though with Williams back in the frame, Taylor may choose to take his comeback steady.

Lewis Hunt (knee) is not yet ready to return, whilst fellow defender Simon Ramsden (calf) and midfielder Michael Flynn (double hernia) are hoping to be back in action by the end of January.
