Walsall v Charlton preview
Friday 19 August 2016 11:36, UK
Rico Henry's shoulder injury is not as bad as first feared but the left-back will still miss Walsall's visit of Charlton.
The defender dislocated his shoulder in last week's 0-0 draw at Oldham but does not need surgery with boss Jon Whitney expecting him to return in a few weeks.
Adam Chambers will continue to be assessed with the midfielder still struggling with a hamstring injury which has forced him out.
Erhun Oztumer (back) has returned to training while Isaiah Osbourne could feature on Saturday after missing Tuesday's 2-0 defeat at Chesterfield.
Skipper Johnnie Jackson is a worry for Charlton after he was substituted in midweek after feeling his hamstring.
The Addicks were 3-0 winners against Shrewsbury on Tuesday but the win may have come at a price, with boss Russell Slade confirming Jackson is not the only concern.
He was playing his cards close to his chest but said: "We've got a few who we've had the medical department take a look at. We have two or three issues before Saturday."
Ricky Holmes, who has carried on his impressive form of last season since leaving Northampton for The Valley this summer, is reportedly nursing a swollen ankle and will be monitored, while Zakarya Bergdich left the club this week.
