The 23-year-old has not featured for the Saddlers since rupturing his Achilles during the 1-0 defeat against AFC Wimbledon in the League Two play-off final at Wembley Stadium in May 2025. 

Williams was initially ruled out for the season, although there was hope that he could push for a return to action in the dying embers of the campaign. 

Sadler recently set a time frame of four-and-a-half months in late December, but has now stated that he does not expect to see him in a Walsall shirt this season.
