Walsall team news: Lee Grant makes 3 changes as Sven Sprangler returns

Walsall have named their team to face Rochdale at Bescot this afternoon.

Lee Grant has made three changes ahead of Walsall’s home clash against Rochdale, as Sven Sprangler returns to the midfield.

Isaac Moore drops to the bench at his expense, while Declan Skura and Tai Sodje come in for Ryan Leak and Courtney Clarke.

Unless Grant springs any surprises with his formation then Sodje looks set to play on the wing, with Antony Evans as the No 10.

Although Skura makes his comeback from a leg issue, there is no place in the squad for Rico Browne, who was passed fit following his recovery from a calf issue.

38-year-old Albert Adomah, who is just one shy of 800 club career appearances, is another notable absentee from the squad.
