Bradford defender Matt Clarke has been ruled out of action until the end of the month due to his troublesome medial knee ligament injury.The 27-year-old, who has missed the club's last three matches, has so far failed to respond to treatment.

On-loan Fulham defender TJ Moncur has stepped in for Clarke and will continue to operate in central defence alongside David Wetherall.

Meanwhile, fellow centre-half Mark Bower, out since Christmas after undergoing knee surgery, is close to a return but remains some way short of match fitness.
