Bullock: Hernia trouble

Bradford midfielder Lee Bullock looks set to miss the rest of the season as he recovers from a hernia operation.

Bullock underwent surgery on the injury last week, and could struggle to return to full fitness in time for Bradford's final League Two game of the season against Wycombe on 3rd May.

Lee Bullock joined Bradford on a permanent deal from Hartlepool in January after impressing during an initial loan spell.

The 26-year-old's lengthy absences will come as a blow to manager Stuart McCall after a number of excellent displays from Bullock since his switch.
