Bullock joined Bradford from Hartlepool

Bradford City manager Stuart McCall insists his side can cope without the influential Lee Bullock.

The midfielder will miss Saturday's trip to Macclesfield following his sending off in the weekend win over Hereford United.

"It is not a major disaster in the grand scheme of things because he would have missed next week for five yellows anyway," McCall told BBC Radio Leeds.

"He will of course be a miss, but we can cope for one game without him."

Bullock was sent off nine minutes from the end of City's 1-0 win at Valley Parade for a second bookable offence.

McCall added: "For him to only miss the one game is good, as three matches would have hurt us.

"He has been outstanding for us in the last three or four matches, so we will miss him."
