Charlie Lakin will be eligible again when Walsall host Tranmere Rovers on Saturday after serving his one-game suspension.

Jamie Jellis - groin (50%) 

Jamie Jellis had to come off at half-time, after nursing a groin issue over the past fortnight.
Jamie Jellis was forced off at half-time in Walsall's win at MK Dons last month.

Jellis has missed the past two games with a groin issue, which forced him to be withdrawn at half-time during the Saddlers 1-0 win at MK Dons on August 30. 

The midfielder trained with the squad on Thursday and will be assessed ahead of the weekend.

Priestley Farquharson - groin (50%) 

Walsall defender Priestley Farquharson impressed after Evan Weir was forced off with a knock.
Walsall defender Priestley Farquharson received positive scan results on his groin issue last week.

Farquharson hobbled off clutching his groin in Walsall's 3-1 win at Shrewsbury Town in the EFL Trophy and was not involved last weekend. 

However, the defender received positive results from his scan last week, and will also be assessed alongside Jellis.

"Nothing really changed from that. Priestley and Jamie are both fighting to get back in for the game at the weekend," Sadler confirmed.
