Walsall's Jason Price is ineligible to face parent club Carlisle due to the terms of his loan.
The forward linked up with the Saddlers on an initial month-long deal last Friday and enjoyed an immediate goalscoring debut having been credited with the final goal in the 6-1 romp over Bristol Rovers.
Price also started Wednesday's 1-1 draw at Notts County but Saddlers boss Dean Smith will have to shuffle his forward line at Brunton Park.
On-loan midfielder Matt Gill was taken off at half-time at Meadow Lane when struggling with a sickness bug but should be okay for Saturday.
That just leaves striker Darren Byfield on the sidelines with his long-term knee injury. The Walsall captain is set for another appointment with a specialist but appears unlikely to be making his long-awaited return any time soon having originally targeted a late January comeback.
