Saddlers star eyes fitness boost

The 26-year-old striker arrived at the Banks's Stadium last summer having risen through the ranks at Leyton Orient, and he has enjoyed a successful debut season - finding the net 10 times in the league, including three in his last two games. It was his second-half strike that secured last weekend's 1-0 triumph at promotion-chasing MK Dons and, despite sustaining injury, he is hoping to be able to carry on where he left off against the Latics, although whether he is deemed fit enough remains to be seen. "It's still a bit sore but I'm hoping to be fit," Ibehre told the club's official website. "It would be nice to be involved in the last game of the season. "I've been in decent form of late. It would be good to add to that before the end of the season. I've enjoyed this season, I think I've improved as a player and I've scored a few important goals, so it's been good. "Hopefully it's not over for me yet though and I can be involved on Saturday. I'll keep training the rest of this week and see how I am."
