Flynn out of Bantams tour

Bradford midfielder Michael Flynn will miss the club's mini tour down south due to a strained stomach muscle. Flynn is one of three players to miss the trip, which takes in four friendlies in Essex and Middlesex, as Luke Dean and Tommy Doherty are also injured. Flynn told the club's official website: "I've been given a running programme to make sure I keep my fitness up. "I've come back (from the summer) half a stone lighter so I was feeling in great condition apart from this niggle in my stomach muscle. "I had an injection at end of the season to settle it all down, but pulled a muscle slightly higher so it is a precaution why I'm not travelling."
