Harrison Burke is a doubt ahead of the opening fixture, after suffering a minor ankle injury during the Saddlers' 3-0 win at Forest Green Rovers last weekend. 

He will be assessed in the lead up to the match, with boss Mat Sadler ranking his chances of availability at '50/50'. 

So it feels even if Burke is passed fit, is it really worth risking him at this early stage of the season? 

To add to that, Browne has featured heavily during pre-season and has been one of the standout performers. He has earned his chance to prove his worth in the league and appears to be the best possible option on the right of the back-three.
