Bradley Orr is refusing to wear a protective face mask when he returns to competitive action later this week. Bristol City's 25-year-old right-back has not been able to risk physical contact on a football pitch since suffering a depressed fracture of his cheekbone during the Coca-Cola Championship play-off final against Hull at Wembley on May 24.
