TUESDAY'S PRESS TALK
Bradley Orr will be fit to play a full part in Bristol City's pre-season programme. Badly injured in last month's Championship play-off final at Wembley, the 25-year-old defender will report back to Ashton Gate along with the rest of his team-mates today. And he is expected to be given the green light to feature in the club's opening pre-season friendly at Forest Green Rovers on Saturday, July 12. Orr suffered a shocking injury when fracturing his cheekbone during the 1-0 Wembley defeat at the hands of Hull City. He was taken straight to hospital and underwent an operation the next day. But the Scouser is making a quicker-than-expected recovery and will be able to resume light training today. City manager Gary Johnson confirmed: "Bradley is on the mend and is doing very well."
