Bradford will be without Reece Staunton for at least three months after he suffered a hamstring injury last week.

The 18-year-old defender was forced off early in the second half of Bradford’s 1-0 defeat at Sky Bet League Two rivals Leyton Orient.

Staunton will now see a specialist for further assessment after initial tests confirmed a high-grade tear to his hamstring.

He made his league debut for the Bantams in 2018 but only established himself in the team this season – although he now faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
