Fleetwood vs Walsall - Bobby Grant suspended for Fleetwood
Posted Tuesday, March 15, 2016 by PA
Fleetwood top scorer Bobby Grant starts a three-match suspension which rules him out of the visit of Walsall.
The 25-year-old was sent off just a minute after coming off the bench in Saturday's defeat to Burton.
Midfielder Nick Haughton is back in contention after serving a one-match ban.
Defenders Nathan Pond (thigh) and Danny Andrew (knee) and midfielder Antoni Sarcevic (groin) all miss out.
Walsall have been boosted by the news that defender James O'Connor has penned a contract extension.
The centre-back, who has made 39 appearances for the Saddlers this season, signed a two-year extension which will take him up to the summer of 2018.
Walsall interim coach Jon Whitney oversaw a 4-1 win away against Chesterfield in his first game in charge, and will hope to field another strong line-up this time around.
Isaiah Osbourne (knee) continues to be a long-term absentee, while striker Jordan Cook missed the Chesterfield game with a hamstring problem.
