Why recalling Levi Amantchi from his Rochdale loan is not an option for Walsall?
Walsall won't be able to recall striker Levi Amantchi from his loan spell at National League side Rochdale, Express & Star understands.
The 24-year-old joined Dale on a six-month loan earlier in the summer, as Mat Sadler looked to find him minutes away from the club.
Amantchi, who netted four times following his January arrival from Bromley, has played just 18 minutes from the bench so far during Rochdale's first two league games.
Walsall do not have the option to recall Amantchi from his loan, which expires on January 3, 2026.
Due to it being a six-month loan deal, a player cannot be recalled in the same window that they've been signed.
The Saddlers are likely to dip back into the market for attacking reinforcements in the wake of Jonny Stuttle's injury on Tuesday night.
Stuttle had to be replaced towards the end of the first half during the Saddlers' 1-0 home defeat against Grimsby Town, after suffering a suspected knee injury.
