The Saddlers' No 1 had made 105 consecutive appearances since arriving at the Banks's Stadium in July 2013.

But he was replaced between the sticks by youngster Craig MacGillivray for Saturday's 2-0 home win over Oldham.

O'Donnell is out of contract at the end of the season and yet to indicate whether he will accept a new deal after months of negotiations.
