Farquharson was forced to sit out the Saddlers' 2-0 defeat at Cambridge United on New Year's Day with an eye issue. 

The defender required stitches above his eye following a clash of heads with Joe Garner in a 2-1 home loss against Oldham Athletic at the end of 2025. 

Matt picked up an early knee problem at Cambridge and was replaced just past the half-hour mark after initially soldiering on.

Both are fighting to be fit ahead of the trip to Carrow Road and Sadler has revealed he will reach a decision ahead of the weekend.
