One New Worry
One New Worry

Town are reporting one new injury worry ahead of Monday's home clash with Bradford City (KO 7.45pm). Spanish striker Pablo Couñago picked up a slight foot injury during Saturday's draw against Millwall.

Marcus Bent looks likely to get another start after playing 55 minutes of Town's 1-1 draw at Millwall on Saturday.

The Blues could recall Jim Magilton while Chris Makin is nearing fitness after his ankle problem.

Mark Venus, Martijn Reuser, Wayne Brown, John McGreal and Alun Armstrong all remain out of the running.

Bradford have a number of players definitely out including David Wetherall, Wayne Jacobs, Jamie Lawrence, Lewis Emanuel and Tom Kearney.

Robert Molenaar and Gary Walsh are doubtful, the loss of Walsh would mean the Bantams would be without a sub keeper. Former Town loanee Aidan Davison is currently their only keeper.

If Molenaar misses out then Michael Proctor, on loan from Sunderland, may get his first start. Former Town star Gus Uhlenbeek is set to continue at right-back.

The referee will be Frazer Stretton from Nottingham who last refereed at Portman Road in Town's 3-0 win against Huddersfield in March 1999 when goals from Jim Magilton, David Johnson and Bobby Petta beat Marcus Stewart and the rest of the Terriers.

Town squad: Marshall, Pullen, Clapham, Wilnis, Wright, Hreidarsson, Venus, Gaardsøe, Holland, Magilton, T Miller, George, Ambrose, Stewart, M Bent, D Bent, Couñago, Armstrong, Richards and Naylor.
