Lee Grant will assess Declan Skura and Rico Browne ahead of Walsall's trip to Exeter City on Saturday. The Walsall head coach confirmed both defenders are being monitored after picking up injuries in recent games.
What happened to Declan Skura against Crewe Alexandra
Declan Skura was forced off at half-time during Walsall's 2-2 draw at Crewe Alexandra on Tuesday night due to a leg issue. He mentioned feeling discomfort before the break but continued until the interval when the decision was made to withdraw him. Grant said he is still waiting for the final answer on Skura's condition and will give him as much time as needed.
What is the latest on Rico Browne's injury
Rico Browne missed the midweek draw at Crewe after picking up a calf problem in Walsall's 3-2 home victory over Accrington Stanley last weekend. Although he has been back on the grass this week training with boots on, Grant said Browne still needs more time to feel comfortable and a decision on his availability will be made closer to the weekend.
How Walsall are managing the defensive situation
Grant stated the club has limited training time over the last 24 hours but needs to assess Skura, Browne and one or two others to ensure they are ready for the tough trip to Devon. He emphasized honesty about the lack of updates while confirming the players will receive the time they require to recover properly.
