CARLING CUP NEWS Ricketts - foot injury.
Bradford goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts is a major doubt for the Carling Cup tie at Wolves.
The Jamaica international faces a late fitness test after sustaining a foot injury in the opening-day draw with Macclesfield.
City manager Stuart McCall has confirmed he will look to bring in a goalkeeper on loan if Ricketts, a virtual ever-present last season, is ruled out.
McCall is not expected to make too many changes to the side that drew 1-1 with Macclesfield.
Summer signing Peter Thorne is not yet ready to make his debut due to the hip injury that sidelined him over the weekend.
New loan signing Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu should therefore spearhead the City attack alongside Barry Conlon.
Central defender Matt Clarke is still struggling with a hamstring problem.
Freddy Eastwood and new signing Kevin Foley will make their Wolves debuts.
But skipper Gary Breen has been ruled out of the first-round tie at Molineux after being forced out of the opening-day defeat to Watford with a groin strain.
The Republic of Ireland international is expected to be fit for Saturday's Championship clash at Sheffield Wednesday.
Eastwood, a £1.5million summer signing from Southend, was an unused substitute against Watford but will start against Bradford in a bid to build up his match fitness.
Foley, who signed a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee in time to be included, could be a straight replacement for Breen.
On-loan goalkeeper Graham Stack will step in for Wayne Hennessy, who has been called into the full Wales squad alongside Eastwood for a friendly against Bulgaria later this month.
