Notts County vs Walsall - who's out and who's a doubt?

Jack Earing - ankle (10%) 

Earing was forced off with a knock in the final minute of Walsall's 2-0 win over Newport County on Sunday after an influential cameo from the bench. 

Mat Sadler confirmed at full-time that the midfielder was suffering with an ankle injury. 

While he was unable to provide a time frame in the immediate aftermath, he did admit that the injury "didn't look great" which casts doubt over his available for Notts County. 

Sadler said:  "Unfortunately, Jack looks to have taken a bit of an injury on his ankle I think he said. 

"I don't really have an idea on that yet but that doesn't look great at the moment. We'll have to watch and see what that looks like." 

Josh Gordon - hamstring (0%) 

Gordon has been out with a hamstring injury since hobbling off during Walsall's 2-1 win over Cheltenham Town in late-August. 

The striker is still on course for a mid-January return and took a step closer in his road to recovery by returning to full training last week. 

"He trained with us for the first time in terms of proper training yesterday. We've got a period of a couple of weeks of getting him back up to speed now," Sadler revealed.

"I'm not going to rush him because he has been out for a long time."

Ronan Maher - ankle (0%) 

Sadler has revealed Maher is set for a "few weeks" of rehabilitation as he recovers from an ankle injury he sustained while on loan at Tamworth.

He said: "Ankle. Ronan has got another few weeks of rehab to go. It won't be too long until he is out on the grass but not just yet."

George Hall - hamstring (0%) 

Hall missed the win over Barrow after sustaining a hamstring issue in training on the eve of the game. 

The midfielder, who has been plagued by a series of hamstring injuries over the past 18 months, had previously started the past three league games. 

Sadler was initially unable to commit to a time frame but has since confirmed that the Birmingham City loanee will miss at least "six to eight weeks". 

Boss Sadler confirmed on Dec 14: " George is back with Birmingham. I mentioned that the other day but it'll be six to eight weeks. Maybe a little bit more so we've just got to look after him with that."

Priestley Farquharson - thigh (0%) 

Farquharson has suffered a setback on his road to recovery from a thigh injury which has kept him out since August. 

The defender, who has been plagued by injuries during his 18 months at Walsall, was targeting a return after the New Year. 

Sadler revealed last month that he had participating in the warm-up in training for the first time as he edged closer to a return. 

But the centre-back went to see a specialist last week and is now expected to spend a further two months out of action. 

Sadler revealed earlier this month: "Priestley unfortunately had a setback last week. He saw a specialist on Wednesday whose confirmed it's a decent setback. 

"So he's probably looking at another couple of months on the side lines which is a real kick in the teeth for him. 

"We're gutted for him and will need to rally around him."
