Yeovil will be without suspended pair Omar Sowunmi and Connor Smith for the FA Cup tie with Bradford on Saturday.
Defender Sowunmi and midfielder Smith were both shown red cards during Yeovil's 2-1 home defeat to Crawley on New Year's Day.
Yeovil boss Darren Way will also be unable to call on James Bailey after the captain was ruled out for up to three months with medial ligament damage. Barnsley midfielder Jared Bird could make his debut after signing on loan with Yeovil until the end of the season.
Bradford quartet Tyrell Robinson, Adam Thompson, Matthew Kilgallon and Dominic Poleon will all return to the squad. Left-sided player Robinson and defender Thompson have recovered from illness, while centre-half Kilgallon and forward Poleon both returned to training this week.
Midfielder Jake Reeves is still out due to a recurrence of a pelvic problem, which has forced him to miss the last three matches. Defender Tony McMahon is doubtful and will be assessed after sustaining a knock in the win at Fleetwood on New Year's Day.
Yeovil have won their last three matches against Bradford, all coming in League One between 2007 and 2015.
Since a 4-2 win over Chelsea in January 2015, Bradford have failed to score in three away FA Cup games, though the last two have ended goalless.
The Glovers famously eliminated top-flight Sunderland in January 1949 in the fourth round - since then, they have reached the fourth round just twice (2004/05 and 2013/14).
Stuart McCall is set to take charge of his first FA Cup third round tie as Bradford boss - he's managed eight matches in the competition but never beyond the second round previously.
