Walsall vs Rochdale preview - Bradshaw out for the Saddlers

Walsall are still without top scorer Tom Bradshaw who will sit out the home clash with Rochdale with a hamstring injury.

The 15-goal striker is still likely to be out for another week while Sam Mantom remains sidelined with his knee injury.

James Chambers is a doubt after missing Saturday's 2-0 win at Doncaster with cramp.

The defender was forced off in the 1-1 draw with Gillingham and will be assessed by the Saddlers.

Rochdale midfielder Rhys Bennett will play no part as he continues to recover from a knee injury sustained in the club's last match at Coventry.

Dale's scheduled home game against Leyton Orient on Saturday was postponed due to a frozen pitch but Bennett remains sidelined.

Manager Keith Hill has no new injury or suspension worries, but fellow midfielder Matty Lund (dislocated shoulder) is still unavailable.

Forward Febian Brandy is hoping to make his first appearance for the club after two appearances on the bench as an unused substitute.
