00:00Good afternoon Sadler's fans. I'm at Essenton where I've just spoke to Matt Sadler, head

00:05of Walsall's home fixture against Crew Alexandria at Bescott on Saturday. And there's an update

00:13on Harry Williams. You'll remember from the second half against Baltimore and there was

00:18a 2-1 win at the Bescott in the FA Cup first round last weekend that Williams suffered

00:24a nasty collision with the advertising hoardings and was forced off. There was some great concern

00:31as the medical staff ran over the stretcher, fortunately he returned to his feet with a

00:36bloodied head and then was sent to hospital after the game. The club then released a statement

00:42saying that he'd had the required scans and that they had suffered no further internal

00:49damage, which was really positive news to hear after that concerning incident. However,

00:54the club will follow the concussion protocol, so Matt Sadler said at the very least he will

01:01be missing for the next two games. So that's the game against Crew and the EFL trophy fixture

01:07against Shrewsbury. Ryan Sturck came off on the half hour. He had missed a training session

01:14last week with illness but came through it to start but unfortunately only lasted the

01:2030 minutes and Brandon Conley missed out on the squad because he was ill too but both

01:24are available for selection. Ahead of what will be a big game for Walsall against a local rival,

01:33a team who were in form, albeit having lost in the FA Cup first round against Dagenham and

01:38Redbridge last week, but that's seven wins in ten for Crew in League Two. But Walsall's home

01:43form are five wins from six so far at the Bescott and they'll be looking to continue that

01:49as they look to apply pressure to leaders Port Vale,

01:53who they trailed by four points but also boast a game in hand on.
