Harrison Burke - knee (10%) 

Burke has missed the past two league games due to a knee injury, which he sustained during a 2-1 win over Bristol Rovers on October 4.

The centre-back was initially expected to make his return at Cheltenham, but remains a major doubt after only working with the physio team this week. 

"Harrison is trying his socks off to be back, but it's probably unlikely," Sadler revealed.

Walsall’s Harrison Burke
Walsall defender Harrison Burke is "unlikely" to be available at Cheltenham.

"He has still been with the physios this week and with Jonathan Fenner [strength and conditioning coach]. 

"But he's not been with me yet. We hope for Eastleigh, but if not then it'll be Newport. 

"After Saturday's game [at Cheltenham], there will be two more weeks until we play another league game, and we're targeting that Newport match as the time that, fingers crossed, he'll definitely be back."
