Comley has been out since suffering the injury on his first competitive start of the season in Walsall's 4-0 defeat against Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup on November 30.
The 29-year-old has returned to full training after being fitted with a protective mask and Sadler has revealed he is now available for selection ahead of the visit of Newport County on Sunday.
The Walsall boss said: "His mask is on. He is the batman. So he's training now and we want to make sure he's confident with it.
"But yes he's training and he's fit to play."
Comley, who was voted players' player of the season last term, has been restricted to just seven league appearances from the bench so far this season.
The Montserrat international has totted up just 90 minutes across his league cameos with Ryan Stirk moving ahead of him in the pecking order.
His third campaign at Bescot has been marred by injury after he missed the opening seven league games with a fractured leg.
Stirk has started every league game for Walsall this season and has played a key role in propelling them to the League Two summit.
Walsall stretched their lead at the top to nine points with a 2-0 victory over Doncaster Rovers at Bescot on Boxing Day courtesy of goals from Nathan Lowe and Harry Williams.
