The 23-year-old has missed the last two league games due to a knee injury, which he suffered during the second half of the Saddlers' 2-1 home win over Bristol Rovers on October 4. 

Burke, who has scored once in nine league appearances since arriving from non-league Chester in the summer, has not yet trained this week.

Harrison Burke sealed a 1-0 win for Walsall over Salford at Bescot last Saturday.
Harrison Burke has scored once in nine games for Walsall in League Two.

Sadler revealed he has been working with the physio staff and is trying his hardest to be fit, although he expects it to come too soon for the young centre-back.

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