Walsall are waiting on Cambridge United to decide whether Liam Bennett will play any part in the second round of the competition for them.

Bennett had started the last 16 games on a season-long loan from Cambridge and has been consistent in defence.

But he was missing from the line up that beat Wycombe Wanderers 2-0 if the FA Cup on Saturday, with Brandon Comley taking his place.

With Cambridge in Cup action yesterday afternoon against Curzon Ashton, it is thought they didn’t want him cup-tied and manager Michael Flynn said it was their prerogative to refuse permission but admitted it had given him a problem for the next game, at Carlisle.
