Phil Parkinson confirmed after the Swindon game that loanee midfielder Adam Reed has returned back to Premier League side Sunderland. This weekend’s Swindon fixture was scheduled to be the last match for the young midfielder before his one month deal expired but the 20-year-old missed the County Ground match due to a dead leg.
Reed made four appearances during his loan period with the Bantams but his time at Valley Parade was injury-affected, with the midfielder missing two weeks with a groin strain in particular.He also battled through Tuesday’s match at Macclesfield Town with the same leg injury that ruled him out of the date with Paolo Di Canio’s Robins.
