CITY will be without Lee Novak for at least another month.
The striker has been ruled out for four to six weeks as he recovers from the knee injury he suffered in training a fortnight ago.
Novak, the current top scorer for the Bantams with seven goals, has already missed the games at Cambridge and Southend.
Interim boss Mark Trueman said: “Lee went for a check yesterday and unfortunately he’s going to be out for around four to six weeks.
“Hopefully, he’ll get back in the lower time and up to match fitness.
“It’s a blow for us but hopefully the other players can step in and do what Lee has been doing for us.
“We’ve got different options and different types of players to cause threats to the opposition.”
City have already brought in strikers Danny Rowe and Andy Cook since his absence was confirmed.
Harry Pritchard continues to train after his back problem and will be assessed again tomorrow with a view to the Barrow game this weekend.
