Walsall duo George Dobson and Morgan Ferrier are still battling hamstring injuries ahead of the Sky Bet League One relegation clash with Bradford at the Banks's Stadium.
Boss Dean Keates, whose side have lost their last five league games, could recall Luke Leahy and Jon Guthrie after leaving them out for the 3-0 defeat at Coventry on Saturday.
Skipper Adam Chambers is still nursing a broken foot which has sidelined him since August. Kory Roberts remains out for the rest of the season after breaking his leg last summer.
Bradford defender Kelvin Mellor is fit again after he was an unused substitute in the goalless home draw with Plymouth on Saturday. Mellor had previously been out since December with a foot injury. Midfielder Sean Scannell, who has not played since October, remains sidelined with a shoulder injury.
Boss David Hopkin is also without Calum Woods, with the defender out with a hamstring injury. Bradford are second bottom, a point from safety, and without a goal in their last three matches.
Walsall are winless in their last six league games against Bradford (D3 L3), last recording a victory against the Bantams in November 2015.
Five of the last seven encounters between Walsall and Bradford at the Banks's Stadium have ended level, with each side recording a win apiece.
Walsall have lost their last five league matches in a row - they haven't lost six in a row since losing 15 consecutively between October 1988 and February 1989.
Bradford City haven't failed to score in four consecutive league matches since November 2005.
Walsall are without a clean sheet in 10 home League One matches - the longest current run in the division.
