Matt was forced off with a hamstring problem in the 33rd-minute during Walsall's 3-0 defeat at Bradford City last week and sat out the 2-0 defeat at Fleetwood Town on Tuesday night. 

The 35-year-old was "fighting to be fit" for the visit of Salford City but once again missed out as Walsall came from two goals down to draw 2-2 at Bescot on Saturday. 

Sadler said: "We'll hopefully welcome Jamma back for next Saturday. He was close today and we welcome him back into the group for then."
