Loan signing Marcello Trotta could play despite being short of match fitness, while midfielder George Saville (ankle) is expected to recover from a knock picked up in midweek.
Goalkeeper Richard Lee (shoulder) and midfielder Jonathan Douglas (knee) remain sidelined.
VIEWS FROM THE TRAINING GROUND
Bradford City boss Phil Parkinson told BBC Radio Leeds:
"Ideally we wouldn't want Rory to be called up but the Northern Ireland boss hasn't ruled out that he could come back for us.
"Tuesday's performance isn't one we're just going to brush aside. You can't win every game but we didn't play to the best of our ability.
"They're a team with big resources for this level and they've got a good squad. We played them twice last season and we know what they're all about."
Brentford manager Uwe Rosler told BBC London 94.9:
"Bradford are a force. A lot of people underestimate the newly-promoted teams, but when you have an average crowd of up to 20,000 they are a force in terms of their stature, financial resources and the players they can attract.
"The two front-men are a danger.
"I have to make a choice of whether to play with one striker and a compact midfielder or two strikers. We have to be organised from the front and not get loose.
"We have to put players out who can compete physically. We will always create chances."
