Jamille Matt - hamstring (95%) 

Matt has been sorely missed since he was forced off in the 33rd-minute during Walsall's 3-0 defeat at Bradford City just under a fortnight ago. 

He has sat out the 2-0 defeat at Fleetwood and the 2-2 comeback draw against Salford City but Mat Sadler has revealed the 35-year-old will be available for selection on the weekend.

The Walsall boss said:  "Whisper it quietly, but yes. We've got an endless amount of options up there now are we're going to need all of them." 

Donervon Daniels - calf (0%)

Club captain Daniels has been ruled out for "eight to 10 weeks" after suffering a calf injury earlier this month.

Daniels was forced off midway into the first half during Walsall's 4-2 defeat at Peterborough United in the EFL Trophy. 

The defender had a scan at the start of last week and results have confirmed that he is braced for another lengthy spell on the side lines.

Sadler said: "I believe Donervon will be out for eight to 10 weeks. So it's a little bit of a spell out. 

"Pretty much everyone returns between the end of March and the beginning of April for the players that are out at the minute.
