The 24-year-old suffered the injury during the Saddlers' 2-0 defeat at Barrow earlier this month and was forced to miss their 2-2 draw against Harrogate at Bescot on Saturday. 

"He rolled his ankle in the first half [against Barrow] and then it blew up after that," Sadler explained.

"As the game went on, I think in the last 10 or 15 minutes, he probably should've come off but we'd used our subs.
