Walsall will give fitness tests to goalkeeper Clayton Ince, striker Michael Ricketts and midfielder Mark Bradley before naming the side to face Yeovil on Saturday.
As a precaution, manager Jimmy Mullen has put youth team goalkeeper Tom Cox on standby, in case Ince's treatment to a hamstring injury does not respond to treatment.
Ince came off in the closing stages of the friendly against Albion with a hamstring problem.
Mullen said: "The reports I am getting is that he will ok to play. If that is not the case, then I will have no problems about playing Rene Gilmartin and Tom Cox would be on the bench.
"Tom has had a taste of playing for the reserves this pre-season and has done very well. He is another one who might have to be thrown in at the deep end."
Ricketts, who missed the game against Albion because of a groin strain, is also still receiving treatment.
Mullen said: "I have been told he has a fair chance of joining in with us tomorrow.
"Up until Tuesday, Michael has been up to scratch in terms of training and Clayton played for most of the game on Tuesday."
"Bradley has an ankle injury and again we will have to wait until tomorrow."
