Saddlers missing Deeney

Troy Deeney will miss Walsall's home clash against Bristol Rovers while manager Chris Hutchings has a host of other injury concerns.Local lad Deeney, the Saddlers' top scorer this season with 10 goals to his name, was given his marching orders during Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Charlton having picked up a second yellow card. He now serves a one-match ban.Full-back Rhys Weston was substituted after just eight minutes against the Addicks having suffered a recurrence of a calf injury and he is a doubt, meaning Darryl Westlake will be on standby to replace him once again.Manny Smith (thigh) missed out altogether and is battling to be in contention for a return, while captain and fellow central defender Mark Hughes (ankle) is also not fully fit despite being named on the bench in midweek.Defenders Jamie Vincent and Netan Sansara filled the voids left at the back and they may once again be called upon. Richard Taundry, meanwhile, will be hoping to keep his place in central midfield having started his first match since November.Forward Steve Jones remains in the treatment room with his groin injury.
