Talented teenage forward Stuart Fielden has added to coach Matthew Elliott's mounting injury headache for Bradford Bulls' final Super League clash against Salford at Odsal on Sunday.

Fielden, who has enjoyed a hugely encouraging first season, is one of an ever-lengthening injured list with shoulder damage

Both James Lowes (concussion) and his forward colleague Bernard Dwyer (shoulder) are definitely ruled out after being injured in the 38-4 defeat at Wigan.

And Mike Forshaw faces a late fitness test after picking up an ankle injury in the punishing Central Park battle.

Bulls' media manager Stuart Duffy said: "Stuart has a shoulder injury and it is touch and go at the moment as to whether he will be fit for selection on Sunday."

To add to the Bulls' problems, Lowes may also be ruled out of the following Friday's game at St Helens when Bulls begin their play-off campaign.

It has been a horrendous year for injuries at Odsal.

Paul Anderson, Warren Jowitt and Danny Peacock have all missed much of the campaign with long term problems while top try-scorer Tevita Vaikona, Matt Calland and Sonny Nickle have all been ruled out in recent weeks.

The clash with Salford will mark the final appearance of Bulls skipper Graeme Bradley at Odsal before he retires.

The abrasive Australian will be aiming to bow out in style but it looks increasingly likely that Bulls will be forced to field a patched up side for his farewell home appearance.
