Walsall vs Barrow: Who's out and who's a doubt?

Jamie Jellis - calf (90%) 

Jellis has missed the last three matches with a calf injury after hobbling off during Walsall's 4-0 defeat against Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup last month. 

Mat Sadler has confirmed that the midfielder, who has scored five times in 24 matches this term, is "ready and in contention" ahead of the weekend. 

Sadler revealed: "Jamie is ready and in contention to play so that's really good. He trained today. 

"He would've played anyway (with the injury). Every game, every minute. So we have to settle him down a little bit to make sure that he's out for one or two games rather than a lot longer than that."  

Brandon Comley - cheekbone (0%) 

Comley has also been out since the Charlton defeat after fracturing his cheekbone on his first competitive start of the campaign. 

The midfielder had an operation on the injury and was initially ruled out for four to six weeks. 

However, Sadler issued another update earlier this week revealing that Comley could be available in "two to three weeks" although he will need to play with a protective mask. 

He said: "Fingers crossed we're more talking two to three weeks with Brandon. Not because the injury is any different but hopefully he can wear a protective mask for it which we'll have to sort out. 

"That takes time to get sorted, it's not just an overnight thing."

Josh Gordon - hamstring (0%) 

Josh Gordon remains on course for a potential return after the New Year following a four-month absence due to a hamstring injury. 

The striker has not featured since limping off during Walsall's 2-1 win over Cheltenham Town on August 31. 

He required an operation on the injury but is currently continuing the next stage of his rehabilitation on the grass at Essington. 

Gordon underwent a successful scan around a fortnight ago and could be available by mid-January. 

"Josh is where we want him to be. He's on his way back," the Walsall boss said earlier this month.

"He will be back towards the back end of January by the time he's back in contention to play." 

Priestley Farquharson - thigh (0%) 

Farquharson has suffered a setback on his road to recovery from a thigh injury which has kept him out since August. 

The defender, who has been plagued by injuries during his 18 months at Walsall, was targeting a return after the New Year. 

Sadler revealed last month that he had participating in the warm-up in training for the first time as he edged closer to a return. 

But the centre-back went to see a specialist last week and is now expected to spend a further two months out of action. 

Sadler revealed: "Priestley unfortunately had a setback last week. He saw a specialist on Wednesday whose confirmed it's a decent setback. 

"So he's probably looking at another couple of months on the side lines which is a real kick in the teeth for him. 

"We're gutted for him and will need to rally around him."
