Good afternoon Sadler's fans, I was at Essington earlier today where I spoke to Matt Sadler
00:07
ahead of Walsall's trip to Wetherby Road to face Harrogate Town on Saturday and the Walsall
00:13
boss confirmed that George Hall will be out for the next six to eight weeks with a hamstring
00:21
injury so he has returned to his parent club Birmingham City to continue his road to recovery
00:28
before returning to Walsall once he has recovered. So a major blow for Walsall, a major blow
00:34
for George Hall whose promising early career has been somewhat derailed by a series of
00:42
hamstring injuries over the last 18 months. He had made three consecutive starts for Walsall
00:47
in the league and really looked to be getting back to the player that we all know he can
00:51
be but unfortunately it's another setback for him. Meanwhile Brandon Connolly, he went
00:58
to have a protective mask fitted today, unlikely to be involved on the weekend but he could
01:07
at least be in contention Matt Sadler said over the Christmas period. So not long expected
01:14
now on Brandon Connolly, obviously Josh Gordon's targeting a return mid-January and previously
01:21
Farquharson recently had another setback and isn't expected back till March. Ronan
01:25
Mayer has also had an injury during his loan spout at Tamworth, not a great deal in terms
01:32
of what that may mean for him in terms of a time frame. On the game itself, Walsall
01:39
guaranteed top spot in the league for Christmas for the first time since 2006. We all know
01:46
how that season ended for Walsall but Matt Sadler won't be getting carried away but it's
01:50
10 matches unbeaten for Walsall in the league, looking for a third straight victory and a
01:56
third win on the spin on the road. So Walsall against Harrogate who are on a three match
02:06
losing streak on Saturday, can they sign off for Christmas in style?
