Walsall FC defender Mason Hancock is set to return from injury, while Ryan Leak's recovery is ongoing, ahead of their home fixture against Grimsby. Hancock was forced off during the second half of the Saddlers’ 3-0 opening day victory at Gillingham on Saturday.
What happened to Mason Hancock?
Hancock had “reported well” after the game - despite feeling a slight “overstretch” in his leg.
Why it matters for Walsall FC
The Saddlers boss, Lee Grant, has confirmed that Hancock has had no further issues in training this week and expects him to be ready for the weekend. Walsall FC are currently leading League Two, with 3 pts, 1W-0D-0L from 1 games, and a recent form of W.
What comes next for Walsall?
Ryan Leak, who joined following a successful trial this summer, tweaked his groin at Bristol City and is currently being nursed back to full fitness. Leak returned to training on Wednesday last week, although Grant has emphasized the importance of remaining patient with the defender.
With their next fixture against Barnet scheduled for 2027-02-27, Walsall FC will look to maintain their lead in the league. The team has scored 3 goals and conceded 0, with a goal difference of +3, so far this season.
