Simon Parker damages knee ligaments — 18 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 18 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Gonzalo Melero in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bradford City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Bradford City training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Leon Robinson is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The manager makes an example of Joe Wright
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Tyreik Wright asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

In brief
- Market Bradford City put Kayne Ramsay up for sale
- The dugout A door opens for Tommy Leigh
- Market Reece Welch runs his contract down
