Duo face late Saddlers test

01 November 2010 15:31
Martin Devaney and Darren Byfield will be assessed ahead of Walsall`s home clash against Peterborough. Winger Devaney missed Saturday`s 1-0 defeat at Huddersfield with a late ankle injury and is battling to be fit for a game in which the Saddlers really need to put in a performance in front of their own fans. Striker Byfield saw his lengthy battle to recover from a knee problem suffer a slight setback last week but he is now back on track and hoping to play a part against Posh. On-loan centre-back Andrew Davies continues to miss out, however, with a tear to his thigh muscle. Goalkeeper Jimmy Walker was signed on Friday and duly made his debut at the Galpharm Stadium, and the fans` favourite will remain between the sticks as he makes his first competitive appearance for the Saddlers at the Banks`s Stadium since May 2004.
