The former Bradford City midfielder has been suffering from an ankle injury and looks set to sit on the sidelines for the reunion with his old side.

Crankshaw made 25 appearances for the Bantams in 2021 before joining Stockport, helping the club earn promotion from the National League.

Bradford will continue to be without defender Liam Ridehalgh for the visit of Stockport.

The 31-year-old has been out of action for the last month with a calf injury but could be back in the fold soon.

Winger Abo Eisa suffered a setback on his return from a long-term injury and will miss out yet again.

The weekend’s game will come too soon for Crystal Palace loanee Scott Banks who missed the Bantams’ 2-1 win over Harrogate through injury.
