Swindon vs Bradford AFC - Swindon without banned Conor Thomas against Bradford

Posted Friday, November 25, 2016 by PA

Swindon will be without Conor Thomas as they welcome Bradford in their Sky Bet League One game on Saturday.

The 23-year-old midfielder picked up his fifth yellow card in the 1-1 draw with Southend on Tuesday and serves a one-game ban.

Jordan Stewart underwent knee surgery on Monday and could miss the rest of the season.

The forward was ruled out earlier in the campaign because of a torn cartilage and only featured in two games before suffering another injury and is on the sidelines with Jamie Sendles-White (knee), who will not feature again this season.

Bradford pair Billy Clarke and Timothee Dieng are battling for full fitness and will be assessed before the trip.

Striker Clarke has been sidelined for the last two games with a calf strain and midfielder Dieng missed the midweek home win against Northampton due to a knee problem.

Defender Tony McMahon returned to action for the reserves on Wednesday and is closing in on his return after a thigh injury.

Forward Vincent Rabiega (muscle strain) is still out, while Jordy Hiwula and Filipe Morais are pushing for recalls.
