Rouven Sattelmaier set to continue in goal for Bradford against Plymouth

Posted Thursday, November 30, 2017 by PA

Bradford boss Stuart McCall has a number of selection issues ahead of the FA Cup second-round clash against Plymouth at Valley Parade.

Rouven Sattelmaier is set to continue in goal for the Bantams after regular number one Colin Doyle was sidelined for up to three months with a knee ligament injury.

McCall is also without striker Alex Jones who has been ruled out for a month with an ankle injury, while Timothee Dieng is also struggling with his hamstring strain.

On-loan defender Tom Field is definitely ruled out for the Bantams as he is both injured and ineligible under the terms of his loan from parent club Brentford.

Plymouth boss Derek Adams hopes he has gone some way towards solving his goalkeeping crisis with the emergency signing of Will Mannion from Hull last week.

Mannion featured in the midweek Checkatrade Trophy loss to Yeovil and has received clearance to play for the Pilgrims in the FA Cup.

Adams was forced to make the move after Remi Matthews, himself an emergency loan, was injured in last weekend's Sky Bet League One defeat at Portsmouth.

Plymouth will bring back defender Ryan Edwards who has completed his two-match suspension.
