Walsall vs Scunthorpe United - Walsall set to be unchanged for Scunthorpe clash

Posted Monday, February 29, 2016 by PA

Walsall could be unchanged for the Sky Bet League One clash with Scunthorpe following their 0-0 draw with promotion rivals Burton.

The Saddlers are four points adrift of the automatic promotion spots.

James O'Connor has suffered no ill-effects after returning from a dead leg while Rico Henry is pushing to make his first start since the beginning of the month.

Isaiah Osbourne remains out with a knee injury with no firm date set for his return, despite the midfielder being out all season.

Scunthorpe midfielder Luke Williams is hoping to win his fitness battle and be included in the squad.

Williams has missed the last three games due to a leg injury sustained in the recent home win against Southend but has returned to full training and could be among the substitutes.

Captain Stephen Dawson was forced off in Saturday's 1-1 home draw against Oldham with a tight hamstring but is expected to be fit.

Manager Nick Daws has no other new injury or suspension problems, while Gary McSheffrey, Greg Luer and Kyle Wootton, who scored the equaliser at the weekend, are pushing for recalls.
