Walsall take on Championship side Southampton at St Mary’s in the FA Cup Third Round on Saturday.
The Saddlers are in ideal form in the league after earning 3 rebounds and five in the last six.
They also won six of seven in all competitions, the Saints are in third place in the league and unbeaten in 18.
Unfortunately, Walsall failed to emerge unscathed from his streak of 4 games in 10 days over Christmas.
And they’ve suffered a major blow with star striker Freddie Draper being recalled by Lincoln City.
The list of actors involved in the medicine room is growing, although most of them are only expected in the short term.
Here’s a look at the Saddlers’ squad prestige and availability ahead of Southampton.
Ryan Stirk – ankle (10%)
Stirk had started every single league game before twisting his ankle on Boxing Day.
The midfielder is expected to be absent at Southampton and return to Stockport.
