Accrington v Bradford preview
Monday 8 August 2016 15:04, UK
New signing John O'Sullivan could be handed a second Accrington debut in Tuesday night's EFL Cup first-round clash with Bradford.
The 22-year-old midfielder, who made 13 appearances and scored four goals for the club on loan during the 2014-15 season, has returned to the Wham Stadium from Blackburn on a six-month temporary deal.
O'Sullivan has been given permission to play in the League Cup and could make a squad which has been overhauled by manager John Coleman during the summer.
Defender Shay McCartan was used as a second-half substitute in Saturday's 3-2 League Two victory over Doncaster after recovering from a dead leg and will hope for a start, while striker Billy Kee did not make the 18 at the weekend despite returning to training following a knock in pre-season.
Bradford's preparations have been boosted by the signing of West Ham midfielder Josh Cullen on a five-month loan deal.
The 20-year-old, who had a successful spell with the Bantams in the second half of last season, could make the squad but is not expected to start.
Manager Stuart McCall is otherwise not planning to make too many changes to the squad that shared a goalless draw with Port Vale on Saturday.
Nathan Clarke and Timothee Dieng are again set to miss out due to calf problems.
