The 27-year-old has undergone surgery to resolve a knee cartilage problem and will be sidelined for up to six weeks.

Matt Clarke will continue his partnership alongside skipper David Wetherall at the heart of defence in Bower's absence.

McCall has no new injury or suspension problems and is not expected to make any changes following his side's New Year's Day win at Accrington.

Lee Bullock, on loan from Hartlepool, is expected to make his second appearance for the Bantams, while Omar Daley and Joe Colbeck will take their place on either flank after impressive displays at Accrington.

Chilean striker Willy Topp will be hoping to play some part after sitting out the full 90 minutes at Accrington.
