Matt was struggling with the issue during the Saddlers' 2-2 draw at Chesterfield on Saturday and was later taken off at half-time.

The 36-year-old did not train on Monday and was forced to sit out the 2-0 defeat at Bristol Rovers on Tuesday evening.

He could possibly be back with the group as early as Thursday, but Sadler is yet to confirm whether he will fit for the weekend.
